Got a notification from LinkedIn saying “You’re one of the few experts who have been invited to collaborate on …” I got curious and opened up the link.

Apparently, now instead of professional writers being paid to pen down their, usually, cohesive & authentic views, LinkedIn is trying out the idea of generating content using an LLM and then asking for free editorial services from users in exchange for “badges” 🤯 🤦‍♂️

This is cheap IMO. Even for LinkedIn.

What’s happened to the “content team” at LinkedIn!?

    Anyone remember before LinkedIn when there was a law that people didn’t have to disclose their race on a job application, and how 90% of people ignored that protection and decided to post up their headshot on linked in anyway?

      I think you may have slightly misunderstood that law… it says you must not discriminate based on race, not that you should never disclose your race anywhere. I mean, they’re gonna see you eventually when you interview anyway.
