nishio Plurality: Technology for Collaborative Diversity and Democracy - RadicalxChange

@nishio: Regarding “plurality”, which I thought I didn’t know what it meant, the word as a handle in my mind at the moment is “plurality through digital technology”. I’m not sure what you mean by “plurality”.

nishio Notes on what I don’t understand: what happened on the vTaiwan platform when Uber pacted with Taiwan?

@nishio: I’ve experienced “pol.is”, I see. I can guess how it works, but I feel like it’s a good use of it.

  • Polis
  • @0xtkgshn: @nishio Changing the subject, this inspired [DeCartography

nishio What I don’t understand: the relationship between Polis and vTaiwan

  • nishio Is the system almost the same?

  • 0xtkgshn It is a relationship called vTaiwan using Pol.is. For example, Radical X Change’s RxC Voice, and similarly, Pol.is is embedded.

  • nishio So Polis is open source, so it’s used as a component in many places.

nishio “broad listening” that allows “millions of people to hear the extracted essence of the distribution of opinions of their peers” COOL !!!

  • @nishio: I’m not sure why I suddenly get so excited when I see that what I felt was a “useful business concept” at the Plurality stage is now “broad listening”. I am essentially interested in “enhancement of human intellectual ability”.

  • Better consensus-building” can be achieved if humans’ “ability to recognize the opinions of many” is enhanced.

  • @nishio: Because humans have a low “ability to recognize the opinions of many”, we find “enemies” in differences of opinion We tend to think of each other as a minority or an idiot. If we can strengthen this ability, we will be able to build a better consensus. This is indeed collective intelligence.

@nishio: dictatorship rule by single and singularity AI I wonder if the movement toward republicanism governance by mechanism design of better “social choice” and “consensus building” with the enhancement of “digital” technology by “several” humans in a “diverse” position as an opposing concept to the “singularity” of AI, which is far smarter than humans. republicanism] movement for better governance through mechanism design?

@nishio: Being in a peaceful Japan, where the identity is not held by the government, the freedom of assembly I know in my head that it’s a difficult situation where freedom of assembly and freedom of association is important, but it’s hard to empathize with the sense of urgency. I can see why AI is interpreted in connection with centralized surveillance and so on…
