Complete [Think of society as a human computation
I think you are not only "writing what you want to write," but also "gathering an overwhelming amount of facts and creating a story from them.
It's a little different than having something to write about and supporting it with facts.
What was "originally intended to be written" is only tentative and subject to change
The first story I was going to write was just a plan for exploration.
Discover things you didn't know at first by actually exploring
What you think about after you know is better than what you initially planned
So the original plan is scrapped.
However, endless discarding will not complete the writing forever, so make the best of what you have, and be open to future criticism.
I'm not afraid of getting too much criticism for what I write, I think it's useful.
The cost of collecting facts is now much lower.
It used to be that you'd look it up first and then realize, "This could be used to describe the relationship between A and B."
Now, if I think, "Oh, I'm missing a description of the relationship between A and B," I can have AI collect that.
I'm lazy with the feeling that I need to write.
I think I was going to attend, I realized after the meeting was over.
It's bad enough that they didn't schedule it at the time they knew about it in the first place.
Split tasks
Write a story about the IIDOBATA system
Write a response to the assumed question "Can money decide things?" after the forecasted market.
Depends on the theme.
Letting the Algorithm Do Its Thing
It's outrageous to leave governance to an AI."
If you don't leave 0% to AI, it's a misconception as if you leave 100% to AI.
In fact, there are areas of social systems that are better automated by algorithms.
Thinking of social systems not vaguely as a single lump, but rather as subdivided and specific.
For example, referring to the concept of separation of powers and dividing it into legislative, judicial, and executive
To establish rules, to determine whether the rules are being followed, and to implement them according to the rules.
Wouldn't it be better to automate the administration, which is given a set of rules and executes them, with an algorithm?
I have to go outside to get lunch, but it's too hot and I don't feel like doing it.
When it came time to go to the convenience store, I wanted something gutsy like garlic rice and sanzokuyaki.
I want to be perceived as interesting by interesting people.
Will you join the engineering team that an organization is trying to create?
No, I don't intend to."
'My current company gives me enough pay and discretion so I don't have to eat into their coffers.'
So you're involved in an advisory capacity?
I think I'd be involved, but whether or not it was a good idea to get a formal title wasn't answered at the time.
I'm starting to feel like I don't have to have it.
I don't think there's any benefit to having it.
There is a disadvantage, if you are formally a member of an organization, people who want to demean the organization will attack you like "Nishio, a member of the organization, said this".
It's more in the form of "I exchange ideas with you from time to time, but I'm not from your organization."
What is the lack of benefit of having, and what is
The buffs you get from it don't really lead to what you want to get.
Of course, there will be some sort of recognition from people who didn't appreciate me before, and some sort of new communication will occur, but I don't really appreciate that.
Maybe this should be evaluated, in terms of barbell strategy.
But I'm not too excited.
What is it that you want to gain?
→Want to be recognized as interesting by interesting people.
