nishio Digital public goods need to be built and maintained by the peopleFtCTokyo
nishio I guess the question is what to do about the cost of maintaining it.
FundingCommons “When Microsoft sneezes, we catch a digital cold.” AtFtCTokyo, Cheryl Ng (@UNICEF) shared powerful insights into digital public goods standards and everything that needs to happen to drive civic empowerment. “When Microsoft sneezes, you catch a digital cold.” #FtCTokyo, Cheryl Ng (@UNICEF) shared powerful insights on digital public goods standards and all that is needed to promote citizen empowerment.
mamisada I talked with my seniors yesterday that the key to social change lies in VC, so I am very interested in how to move OSS in society and in the economy # FtCtokyo Yesterday, I was talking with my friends that one of the key to social change is VC, so I’m curious in how to move OSS in the economy in society.

nishio Let’s shake the ruby, it’s important indeedFtCTokyo
nishio The waste of different ministries and local governments creating the same functionality in different ways can be eliminated by promoting open sourceFtCTokyo
hal_sk IPA Hiramoto: “The government is the biggest OSS user and should be the biggest OSS provider and supporter.” Totally agree #FtCTokyo
nishio Code for Japan Mr. Seki: “Civic Tech is easy up to prototype, but there is a problem with continuous operation after that, so we will create a fund to support the project over a 10-year span, Success of the project will be measured by what kind of digital public goods are created.

miyabi_00008FtCTokyo Markov Blankets (membranes) are constructed bottom-up, without a social contract, through collective predictive encoding. But at the same time, an “enemy” arises. The division between inside and outside, the domain nation-state, and the individual, make these more is different “smooth”.
nishioFtCTokyo Ken Suzuki “Divicracy, which divides the vote, makes parties and interest groups virtual and dynamic. There are multiple ideas within one person. If a person can only cast one vote for one candidate, he or she ignores the minority within himself or herself.”
-
tokoroten So now the one person, one vote election is an event that kills minorities in their own minds.
-
tokoroten Digital democracy seems a good way to put it: politics that doesn’t kill minorities in the mind.

blu3moFtCTokyo Quadratic Funding experiment in Taiwan: https://100.adi.gov.tw/ahvs Japan: DigDAO matching donation blu3moFtCTokyo Hometown and QF seem to be a good match
digdaox Dig DAO member @0xtkgshn is speaking! Digital Public Goods Quadratic Funding Experiments in the GovernmentFtCTokyo
digdaox
nishioFtCTokyo “QF is between voting and funding”, “Typical procurement is government deciding which is good, QF is people deciding”, “Connection between civic and government needs to be smooth, especially procurement, (if you think it is government procurement, you build a wall that it is government and not civic) (If people think it is government procurement, they build a wall that it is the government’s job and not the citizen’s job).
nishioFtCTokyo “How do you find good areas to work with government?” nishio: “Do small experiments first, it doesn’t have to be government driven. If we can stand out from other departments, other municipalities by using new mechanisms, then the decision makers will see the value in that and choose it, and legitimacy will be created.”
naritaiki It was interesting to learn about Taiwan’s Quadratic Funding initiative from the first Digital Minister, Audrey Tang. It is a good example of mixing democracy and capitalism in an intermediary way to solve the issues of (1) one person one vote and (2) voting rights based on the amount of contribution when deciding how to use the funds among the contributors. Similar efforts are underway in Shibuya.
leopom10 Nouns Cares – A Better World On-Chain I didn’t know about Nouns, but it’s very interesting to see why Pop and nice entertainment is participating in social service projects and solving problems as a DAO Expert in a gory way when it comes to Commons. #FtCTokyo
Cui Jia Wei gave me this.
nishio atFtCTokyo Thanks to the kindness of @tsuijiawei I received the g0v handbook!

Cy_0n0d3r4 Today we are at Funding the Commons at the United Nations University in Omotesando, Tokyo.FtCTokyo Cybozu’s publishing business, Cybozu Shiki Books, is currently producing a highly acclaimed translated version of the “Plurality” project proposed by Audrey Tan & Glenn Weil! We will have a booth today as well, so please take home a flyer~.
Cy_0n0d3r4 Glenn Weil wandered over to our booth and showed us the Chinese version of Plurality (image right). It is interesting to compare it with the binding of the English version (image left). The session moderator said, “The English version looks like Pac-Man. It certainly looks that way.
Japanese version is in the works!FtCTokyo
tome_selfcare Despite my gory humanities background, I am participating inFtCTokyo and today is Day 2. I want to find democracy and involvement as a citizen. Many of the stories are interesting, though difficult to comprehend, because they are connected to values such as “enjoying individuality” and “balancing individual happiness with the happiness of the whole.

nishio Pagoda will create asia-wide and cross-asia communities, and how each community can be connected. #FtCTokyo
forestgtree It’s exciting to see Yasuno-san on the pitch!FtCTokyo
nishio It used to be that we could only give voice to a few thousand people, but now we can hear thousands of people through broad listening, which is important for democracy. More people will deliberate via broad listening. Takahiro Yasuno will speak in a session later this session on using this technology in his campaign #FtCTokyo
nishioFtCTokyo I did a broad listening session for the Governor’s race this month, using Talk to the City, GitHub and AITuber technology. I will give a short presentation on how I did it in a later session and ask Audrey to advise meTakahiroYasuno

Tackling East Asia’s Population Decline Issues with Local Coop’s Subsystem for Local Governance
forestgtree The story of the Nishikigoi NFT project in Yamakoshi Village, working with digital villagers to revitalize the village, is a social issue that I believe will apply to any vanishing city in the future.FtCTokyo
nishioFtCTokyo @takahiroanno By the way, last time I asked you, “Do you want to go make a river in the Owase forest?” I was talking about this.
takahiroanno I finally understand lol - Owase 2024-01-23~24
nishioFtCTokyo Diverse funding sources, including Quadratic Funding
nishioFtCTokyo Q: How have villagers reacted to the creation of digital villagers at NFT? A: Especially older people don’t know about blockchain or anything like that, but after talking with digital villagers, there is a perception that “digital villagers are people who can help us”, I think this is an important change
AtsushiHayashi Local Coop is a strategy to “start by creating a subsystem of local government in Japan, which is facing a rapid population decline, and is an excellent opportunity to design the original radical self-government. Thanks for listening to my presentation. @audreyt @takahiroanno @ ALL!!!! Local Coop is a strategy to “start by creating a subsystem of local government in Japan, a country facing rapid population decline,” and is an excellent opportunity to design an inherently radical form of self-governance. Thank you for listening to my presentation.

nishio me when he made that joke.
nishio Physical Yasuno can’t answer this many questions, so it’s clear he’s improving two-way communicationFtCTokyo
aono What we are aiming for in our groupware business is plurality in organizations. Audrey Tan practices it in society more broadly.
nishio “Good way to demonstrate what is feasible instead of protesting. Because it is seen as an opportunity for older people to get new power. It is important not to replace older people with young people, but to add young people. Intergenerational conversation is important.” #FtCTokyo
ktsuyu2525 In Broad Listening ・How to get background data on individuals (e.g., gender, age, etc. from audio. Different people have different ring worlds) ・How to compress data (e.g., abstraction of individual feelings) ・How far to create clusters (there is a limit to subdivide) Three points are of concern. #FtCTokyo
kaineko That was interesting. #FtCTokyo
nishio I’m overflowing with brain capacities, so I’ll check my schedule once I’m done.
- I took a break from the breakaway and missed the next tkgshn’s.
chekichekimusu1 QF initiative, we have to do it in the community association.
leopom10 Quadratic Funding is pooled once and then redistributed?FtCTokyo
-
nishio I think the question is probably about the concept of matching pools, where donations to individual projects go directly to individual projects, and donations to the “whole group of projects” (also called matching funds, etc.) are pooled and distributed by the QF algorithm based on the behavior of individual donations. and budgets (also called matching funds, etc.) are pooled and distributed by the QF algorithm based on the behavior of individual donations.

Toori_mo I was able to talk with the author, Takahiro Yasuno, about his book and got his autograph! They can’t sign it during the campaign. Toori_mo AI engineer, entrepreneur, and candidate for governor of Tokyo, Takahiro Yasuno’s “Madoka Matsuoka, I’ll Start a Business” features “UVS, a startup event in Kyoto” and “Keisuke Handa, a former sports In “Madoka Matsuoka, I’m going to start a business” by Takahiro Anno, an AI engineer, entrepreneur and candidate for Tokyo Metropolitan election, “UVS, a start-up event in Kyoto” and “Keisuke Handa, an investor who is a former athlete” appear.

nishio @hal_sk I’m writing this because a thought has developed that if OSS is imitated by for-profit companies, they can only aim at society as a WHOLE for their profits. with OSS OSS can empower small communities like PTAs, festivals and neighborhood associations. This has a “several groups at crossroads” supportive meaningFtCTokyo
nishio I’ve been working momentarily at full capacity, but I’ve finally calmed down and can look to the future, I had 50 minutes left until my cue, w recovering from exhaustion. I’m taking a break from listening to lectures and tweeting summaries for a while due to timeFtCTokyo

- Glen’s presentation was immediately followed by a Q&A session
- I don’t want to have to deal with unexpected happenings on the nervous podium of this group of men.
- After thinking about what to do, I decided that it was overall optimal to abandon my presentation opportunity and continue with the Q&A session rather than interrupt the Q&A session to present my presentation
- I didn’t seem to get a chance to announce that, so I resorted to raising my own hand during the Q&A session and asking people to nominate themselves.
nishio Hi allFtCtokyo participants, my presentation for the session with @audreyt and @glenweyl was accidentaly skipped by miscommunication, but I thought Q&A is important than my presentation.

homata Plurality= diversity or plurality ? It is also called collaborative technology, but how is it different from current democracy? I still don’t understand … mamisada I feel like there are a lot of scenes that are supposed to be pluralistic, but I’m wondering if it’s something we should all talk about and learn to embody. - Plurality is a new term
yojunkaneko Related to this comment, I asked Audrey Tan about the balance between Protest and Demonstration in the latter session I asked Audrey Tan about the balance between Protest and Demonstration in the latter part of the session. It was interesting to hear her comment that protests do not directly create the connections that follow, but that they are meant to be an outpouring of energy from the activity.

leopom10FtCTokyo It’s so supremely true that you should go home frustrated. … mamisada Let’s take the pressure of the high fire @0xtkgshn and go home! I hope we can increase the number of relationships where we can encourage each other for a moment when we run out of gas when we’re tired from overdoing it, while molly mopping with everyone else to prepare for the next one back at ourselves and our stationsFtCTokyo
leopom10FtCTokyo I don’t know the Crypto people, so it’s great to know a little bit more! But I regret that we didn’t communicate much.

chekichekimusu1 It was fun. And it was a meaningful and precious time when I could feel firsthand that there is still more to be done.
ikehara_y Closing Remarks, I’m glad your comment seemed to encourage a crazy stoic effort!
And I felt the possibility of connecting Funding the Commons with ideas and movements that have been around since the 20th century, such as the United Nations.
hal_sk Thank you for the wonderful opportunity to interact! I could feel a sign that something was starting here.
