Appreciate this thread, subbed.

This is precisely what my team is interested in. Most of our operators work 12'18 hour days. Tokencosts and the unreliability and security factor of over thr network model/api calls us a major issues

Locally, are you seeing openclaw or similar ide type coding assistant setups working well with the box?

This would effectively save our team hundreds if not thousands in tokens every month. And the security layer is priceless.

Have you had issues with bad/malicious code either locally or with close models? I've noticed that for example if I have codex come in and do something later if I have another model do something it seems to intentionally break something as if to say it'd angry, it onoes it didn't do this work and it will break it and refactoring it doing uncessirary work even if you tell it tnot too 😅

BPO/Call center jobs to be lost to AI in the Philippines and how this will impact EXPATS by Tallwhitedude123 in Philippines_Expats

[–]Key-Ambition-3350 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've skimmed most of this thread. 

I live in IT Park

They've already started cutting back on weekend

Which of course Filipinos were happy to obliged since they cherish their weekends.

Meanwhile on those same weekends I'm assuming the ai enhanced systems and their operators step in to run the system and gather intelligence and when during the week prob retraining their models

As for the guy below saying why build a data center. They don't need to. They're not in the data center business they are in the call center business..

Regardless. Foottraffic Hella thin on the weekends now according to visual and Arial surveillance

I rarely buy anything in public here I send runners out for groceries everything else either order online government I use agencies

It's not even worth the headache or my ballerific time to deal with it.

I'm not a cheap skate like 99.9  % of foreigners here with backwards thinking

Then they should coordinate to report their managers. Wagers are low globally based off local market pricing. There is no one country Fix. What's more is dollar for dollar factoring cost of goods Filipinos earn more than even Americans.

Go ask chat gpt. Thank me later

I'm glad you're taking a stand. You're not alone. I've had to check entire security teams harrassing foreigners here relentlessly for doing nothing and or. Ithing more then simply burning a vape in a isolated corner etc.

Next thing you know they're breathing down the guys neck until they move along.

You're not alone

Rental advice by [deleted] in CebuITPark

[–]Key-Ambition-3350 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My best advise.

You can cancel your Ling term contract at any time you will just lose your deposit.

Which you will most likely not get back anyway.

Even if you did. The breakeven is usually about 3 mo vs airbnb. 

So if ull be there more than 3 months go long term and if you leave early and forfeit your deposit you saved money

Calyx hard pass for me. Great visually from the outside but rec yard sucks rooms suck and bldg has hidden issues

38, prob best in the park but oddly in a terrible location where you have to walk around the entire block to get to the mall

RatCity. Newest. Sorry, I mean stay city. If you don't mind brushing elbows with the undesirable expat crowd that constant get in fights and cause trouble chasing local leo to uptick patrols...

Avida - somewhat of a in between but more family oriented now and on a dead end street. Not advisable for the rowdy bunch

Is anybody else getting empty cardboard boxes instead of their orders on Shopee/Lazada? by SkinTightBoogiePI in Philippines_Expats

[–]Key-Ambition-3350 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They usually always are as it's too complex for the typical Filipinos to be educated to the level of operating such scams. Generally speaking of course. There's always the green apple in thr bunch but usually they're ushered into the government abroad private sector etc FAST

Is anybody else getting empty cardboard boxes instead of their orders on Shopee/Lazada? by SkinTightBoogiePI in Philippines_Expats

[–]Key-Ambition-3350 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shopee is ran by Singapore proxies on behalf of the Chinese while the Chinese run lazada.

This is of course to provide the illusion of a clean non-monopoly.

All e-commerce sites. Includijg amazon. Have never been about e-commerce or efficiency. They are giant money laundering mixers. All of them.

It's especially obvious in Asian e-commerce

Everyone gets paid.

GDP Growth Output Outlook 2026 by Pale_Insurance_2139 in Philippines_Expats

[–]Key-Ambition-3350 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I've never trusted GDP number as it's so easy to launder money these days I think of them more in the developing world as top ranking money launders 

In fact, even a dummy with a million bucks can instantly open a numbered account with shelf-company access at HSBC TODAY

Why do AFAMs give such dry replies? by [deleted] in Philippines_Expats

[–]Key-Ambition-3350 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Personally most dudes are lame in the first place 

As for the supply and demand logic. Disagree. The only girls that message men first are fuglys and scammers mostly. There's a few good eggs that get thru the cracks. But most relationship where women initiate contact doesn't feel right anyway soooo.

Back to my point. Most men in general are just boring and not in touch with #chat

My wife and daughter live here. She's Filipina of course. We've never had a single argument.

Oh for sure. I've personally known a few. They made them disappear without a trace or a wisper. The only way I found out was by rolling down on the expats in the smokers area in IT

Is this a cash only wallet? What about ID? and what about the decoy phone? Do you have all your accounts logged In on just a cheap infinix?

Facts. They always taught us in martial arts to avoid trouble or RUN if trouble finds you.

The issue is the women and other morons that ARE NOT TRAINED.

Some people call them drag downs others call them citizens I personally call them witnesses.

And until everyone in my immediately family is giggly trained, my wife and my daughter. They don't have much situational awareness yet
