  • Yes and you should embrace this. Being cosmopolitan is truly freeing!

    We live in a world where you can be anywhere you want within a day and not only that but be freely adopted to new cultures. Go to Mexico, Chile, Thailand, Japan - you can really live almost everywhere these days and be somewhat accepted as you are and partake in any societal activities. Contemporary people are really accepting despite what bait social media tries to portray.

    There are also a lot of cosmopolitan peoples today and you’ll find them in every country be it expats or people who simply have a mindset of belonging to the entire world rather than their national identity. It’s a rapidly growing culture so try it out!

    For recommendations try Asia which is opposite of German directness. In the west it’s called “face saving culture” but more importantly Asian social interactions favor friction removal and respect for another human being over detail and accuracy which even shows in Asian languages which are much more implicit than German explicitness. Try Thailand or Vietnam - great places if you have the temperance to limit partying loops and just prioritize exploration and growth. It’s very accessible to any 20 year old European.

    As for US I don’t recommend it. I’m a big fan of US still but the vibe right now is not one you want to be surrounded in. Maybe wait 10 years for that - its not going anywhere (hopefully lol).







  • AI threads on lemmy are always such a disappointment.

    Its ironic that people put so little thought into understanding this and complain about “ai slop”. The slop was in your heads all along.

    To think that more accessibility for a project that is all about sharing information with people to whom information is least accessible is a bad thing is just an incredible lack of awareness.

    Its literally the opposite of everything people might hate AI for:

    • RAG is very good and accurate these days that doesn’t invent stuff. Especially for short content like wiki articles. I work with RAG almost every day and never seen it hallucinate with big models.
    • it’s open and not run a “big scary tech”
    • it’s free for all and would save millions of editor hours and allow more accuracy and complexity in the articles themselves.

    And to top it all you know this is a lost fight even if you’re right so instead of contributing to steering this societal ship these people cover their ears and “bla bla bla we don’t want it”. It’s so disappointingly irresponsible.
