How I joined the Yasuno team

Late May 2024, a turbulent time.

• I'm unexplored junior connected with Mr. Yasuno.
  • In Unexplored Jr. we were talking about Plurality being interesting after 2023-04.
  • Rickshinmi was involved in the operation of Plurality Tokyo 2023.
• I became involved in Takahiro Yasuno's campaign when he contacted me (5/13) to say that he had read the Japanese translation of Plurality Books that Nishio had published and found it helpful.
  • /plurality-japanese.
• I introduced Mr. Yasuno to Haruyuki Seki on 5/13 and we had a meeting on 5/23 and exchanged a lot of information. - Nodal point of thought 2024-05-23 #Governorship x Digital Democracy
• In the chat that followed, Seki-san brought up the subject of Talk to the City, and Yasuno-san said, "Sounds really interesting.
  • I knew about Talk to the City from Gisele Chou, but when I saw tkgshn trying it out, I left it alone and thought "that looks like a pain in the ass!
    • [/tkgshn/Talk to the City](https://scrapbox.io/tkgshn/Talk to the City)
    • [/tkgshn/report on Taiwan's same-sex marriage debate at Talk to the City](https://scrapbox.io/tkgshn/report on Taiwan's same-sex marriage debate at Talk to the City).
    • This was one of two types of Talk to the City (Talk to the City Turbo).
• Nishio showed Opinion cluster analysis of 110,000 people at this time
  • Polis-like analysis of 110,000 anonymous data provided by JAPAN CHOICE.
  • Yasuno's comment
    • 'If you had some natural language data collected during the campaign, could you try it out?'
    • "I'd like to see the AI pub-commentary that got the ball rolling as a personal interest, the one that collected about 20,000 comments."
  • After explaining that "Polis is input by opinion vectors," I'm starting to wonder how Talk to the City does its clustering of natural sentences.
    • After doing some research, I wanted to give it a try and decided to give it a try with the AI pubic
      • This is Talk to the City Scatter.
      • Mr. Seki: "It would normally be useful to organize on the administrative side."
• I tried Talk to the City by AI PubCom (5/30). - TTTC: Public Comments on AI and Copyright
• Mr. Seki saw it and decided to introduce it in the next day's Updating Society and Democracy through Civic Tech on 5/31.
  • I told him he could use any image in Scrapbox, and he laughed when he saw my hand-drawn picture of broad listening being used.
  • This picture was later even used in Yasuno's manifesto and became a famous diagram.
    • Of course, both have given permission.
    • I thought people would rather use it, so I decided to go with a CC0 license around here.
  • Finally, Broad listening in practice even jokingly referred to me as a super designer. w
  • It was later called Broad Listening "That Figure" and aired on television and other media.
