Quashing citizen involvement & democratic governance is *exactly* what this is: “‘This is not just talking about a whale and the need for fossil fuels. It is just one more act in a political quashing of citizen involvement in statutory enforcement and protection of public values. Scratch away at almost any environmental controversy, and pretty soon you’re looking at big questions of democratic governance.’”

행정기관이 파브코멘트 결과를 AI 분류로 검토하면 템플릿성 대량投稿의 효과가 줄어든다고 설명합니다. AI가 반복적 의견을 식별할 수 있어, 형식에 맞는 실질적 의견 제출이 더 중요해졌다는 점을 강조합니다.

行政はパブコメの結果にAI分類を使う以上、テンプレによる大量投稿とかほぼ意味がなくなってきています(実際、AIは今回のパブコメでも検出してくる)。ちゃんと仕様どおり書けば、読まれる可能性があると思うので、有効な投稿を通じて、適切な議論につながることを望みます。

AI를 활용해 행정의 파브코멘트(의견수렴) 분석을 수행한 결과를 언급합니다. 구체적 정책 제안 비율, AI 관련 의견 비중 변화 등을 제시하며, AI 분류로 대량 의견을 효율적으로 정리할 수 있다고 평가합니다.

Opusによる分析なので、注意が必要で参考程度に。個人の意見で「727件中、具体的な施策提言になってる意見は約27〜34%。残りは方向性の表明か感情表明。しかも前年の940件から727件に減少。AI関連も78%→52%に低下」。 まあ、AIに分類させると、仕様に合う読む必要のある意見はすぐに整理できますね。

If you live in VA, there's a public comment period on a proposed change to the 'emergency generator' usage.

They want to change regulations so that a 'planned grid outage' even a week in advance be classified as an 'emergency' allowing the use of their generators.

EDIT: Comments due by 12/3

my comment:

"Do not allow generators during planned grid outages"

We should not allow data centers to contribute yet more damage to our communities.

Why are we even allowing 24/7 generators for non-emergency businesses. When the power goes out, we as citizens go down, let the data centers go offline as well. They aren't 'mission critical' for any county or state purpose. They have workload fail over plans for this exact situation.

These same data center operators last year asked if they could run their generators during 'high load' events during the summer; they claimed it wouldn't be for long hours, just short durations.

Given the past performance of PJM and Dominion Power, outages that reach >5 hours are EXCEEDINGLY rare.

As such, batteries exist to cover this likely outage duration. Are they as cheap as generators? Not yet, but we're seeing BILLION DOLLAR profits from these companies. They can afford it.

And should a planned outage need to be multiple days, again, they can go offline like the rest of us. How often has this happened? I'm guessing basically never.

Data Centers provide NO BENEFIT to the affected communities that any other 'normal' business provides.

Stop giving these companies loopholes to pollute and damage our communities.

I submitted the below comment to the public comment section for the Rt. 2 Corridor project. Capital Streets has a good deal of additional information. I write as an RPI alumnus and former resident of the City of Troy. While I now reside across the river in Colonie, I return to Troy regularly to enjoy cultural events, to shop at the farmers market, and to patronize the many fine restaurants and small businesses downtown Troy has to offer (and to attend the occasional hockey game at my alma […]
