Couldn't opposition party council members also do those things? And given the current developments in AI, is it not only a matter of time before these meetings get transcribed and summarized automatically?
- untog 7y agoThe opposition party is clearly motivated to misrepresent what they see, though. If you think trust in media is bad, this would be exponentially worse. And as nice as it is to think that technology is the answer, it already isn't. All meetings could be livestreamed online very cheaply but very few are. It's going to be a long time before automatic transcription technology has any kind of impact. At least part of this is because many politicians don't want to be held accountable, so they're not about to help these efforts.
- ddebernardy 7y agoHowever much opposition misrepresents what they see, it give matters some scrutiny, and that results in others' involvement. The big problem at the moment, as I understood things, actually is that opposition is not doing its job by publicly calling out BS when it sees it at the local governance level.
