Going Meta

Took placeFebruary 28, 2024
LocationShanghai, Shanghai, China
FormatSalon
The concept Meta’ comes from the ancient Greek preposition μετα- and echoes the Chinese proverb '当局者迷，旁观者清, which means ‘transcending’. “Going Meta” thus signifies stepping outside of a situation to cultivate self-awareness, ultimately a change of scope and seeing things from a broader perspective. In today's tech-driven era, the “Going Meta” mindset involves leveraging the transformative power of AI, LLMs (Large Language Models), and cutting-edge computer science to transcend traditional boundaries and foster innovative thinking.
