I had a similar idea, but it didn’t go very far beyond research. There are some special app interfaces that people have developed that remake email to look more modern like chat apps or social networks, by removing all the boilerplate.

Some of the issues I was thinking about:

Email clients by default block many types of messages and the allowed mime types are limited as is the support of html. So you really need your own email client to bring in the types of features we’d like to see, or, as you say, an intermediate format that is reinterpreted.

There’s also the fact that gmail or outlook mail servers may simply block and blacklist the content. Email was designed to be decentralized but it has moved to a system where a few companies control the major mail servers. If you wanted to re-decentralize email and add some anonymity then everyone would become their own mail server but this would raise the problems of email viruses and spam - and it’s not as convenient as just using your existing email and app.

Even if the autonomous weapon systems ‘perform as intended’, this does not in any way mean that they are not an enormous danger.

Secondly, as that is department policy and not a law or regulation, they appear to be saying that the cited directive is presently the only thing standing between the DOD and the use of autonomous weapons.

If that’s the case how hard is it to change or alter a directive?

This is neat, but I think I would avoid it given the speed with which I can make edits in Vim.

One thing I’ve learned about writing prose vs. code is that you should not be quick to edit your prose and instead continue writing and finish the complete draft. This is why studies show that typewriters and pen and paper give a better creative process. I can’t foresee me looking for things like autocomplete or pure speed when trying to put thoughts to paper.

Other commenters have mentioned entering one sentence per line as a good way to track revisions in git.

You could then use a git workflow to do your reviews and edits.

Isn’t that super intelligence not AGI? Feels like these benchmarks continue to move the goalposts.
