I’m in Britain and I really hate the eyelashes, fillers and makeup here for young girls sometimes and the intense pressure I see everywhere to get them. Poor girlies.

“Saving face” to a nonsensical degree. Nonsensical to my westernized brain of course. I known it’s all relative. But I’d rather the person tell me they can’t do something than nod and smile and pretend they can. I’d rather be told the truth and get on with my day, no hard feelings.
Every time someone talks about how great AI is for summarizing work meetings, I think of my job at a very Japanese company a few years ago. How will your CoPilot handle someone saying one thing and meaning “No, I’m not going to do that.”
I can totally imagine actual people fine tuning the IA to adjust it to different cultures. As in:
Allow for % possibility of their yes meaning “no” as a default. % increases by x% in the following events (insert societal norms). Add X% based on how many seconds pass between the request and the theoretical agreement. Other things to consider: rank of those asking/receiving orders, witness yes/no, etc. Once you get an estimated percentage of possible “deniability” on a supposedly agreed task, correlate the percentage to this particular frequency of reminders.
Lol
This wouldn’t work, but I can imagine something that would.
For example: “Tori-San expressed his understanding of the request at :10 in and indicated he would not be agree to the change. The meeting continued on for 50 more minutes and ended with the Americans understanding that they could investigate making the change. However, given Tori-San’s rank and that of the other participants there are no actions needed, the request will not be agreed on.”
This is why I like the Germans. They tell you straight up and don’t mince words.
which is also incredibly annoying and indiscreet at times. Japanese/German business meetings must be fun.
Where?
