Hi, I looked at this subject a while ago, but not indepth. I think the Nomad Capitalist has a channel and talks about this a lot. Looking at the state of some western countries, living abroad might not be enough of an insurance policy to insulate us from the craziness. In some countries they have de-banked people for having political views that challenge the national governments preferred ideology, and worse. This has led me to wonder if living abroad might not be enough. What if your own country decided to issue an arrest warrant making it hard to return? Or perhaps decided to not even renew your passport? ... I am not in this situation, but one day we might all be. Who knows. Another reason people look into this might be tax purposes. I have heard that some Americans have tried to renounce their citizenship; to avoid having to pay the IRS, irrespective of whichever foreign country they live in. If so, a 2nd nationality might come in handy. Does anyone here have dual nationality? ... Or have you looked into this? – If so, what did you find out?

What an incredible session with @Michelle Coulson from Remote Rebellion last night! Michelle packed so much value into 60 minutes. From her personal journey escaping London office life to building a successful remote career in Bali, to sharing her proven "Freedom Framework" for landing quality remote work. Key takeaways that stood out: - Why 43% of job applications go to just 9% of remote positions - The 7-step system for standing out in a crowded market - Hidden job boards and networking strategies most people miss - How to optimise your approach for the 6-second resume scan Michelle's approach goes way beyond just applying on LinkedIn. She showed specific tools, outreach techniques, and mindset shifts that actually work in today's competitive remote job market. Thanks to everyone who joined live and made it such an engaging session with all your questions and participation! What was your biggest takeaway from Michelle's workshop?

Honestly, it's getting pretty tiresome with everyone talking about how AI is going to take over the world. And all I ever hear these statements from are people who not only have no background in computer science but people who are not technical at all. AI is a predictive text engine. That is all. It isn’t conscious. It doesn’t want anything. It’s simply predicts the next word in a sentence based on probability. It doesn't remember all the stuff it is "trained" on or know the whole internet. That's why it's answers are mostly retarded and it "hallucinates" 24/7. It doesn't hallucinate by the way it isn't a human being. It's a fucking predictive text algorithm, you wouldn't talk about any other technology like it's human. Why? Because you'd look like a fucking retard. Not only that but we've always had this technology. The only reason we're seeing it now is because the cost of hardware has come down and people have thrown enormous sums of money at it (more on that in a minute) But hardware has it's limitations and so does software. Therefore, unless we fill every square inch of the ocean with water cooled data centres and power them with nuclear power plants were not gonna get much more than what we have right now. There was once a time where if you wanted your website to load faster you would have to optimise the codebase. That kind of went out the window partly because hosting became so cheap. You could just throw your website on a faster server and it would load faster. This is THE EXACT SAME SHIT. The AI companies can optimise the software or build a bigger server. One or the other. Data centres can't scale infinitely. Memory bottlenecks. And the way neural nets optimise themselves is the same way it's been working since the 80's. We’re already seeing diminishing returns. Each new generation costs exponentially more to train but the improvements are shrinking. You see what happens when you load more and more bloat on your phone right?

I have been researching hospitals and clinics in Chang Mai and am so impressed by the quality and high standards of the communications and websites in general. Has anyone got any feedback about experiences you have had with the healthcare system there? Would love to get to know more from a personal angle.
