The site that was bullshitters bullshitting bullshitters with bullshit is now bullshitters bullshitting bullshitters with bullshit bullshit.
It was ruined long before AI. Can’t imagine how much of a cesspool of unoriginality it is now.
I had to use it a year ago while job hunting after getting my degree. The absolute vomit inducing bullshit on there is baffling. I saw posts from students circlejerking about projects they’d done, making them sound completely groundbreaking while barely getting a passing grade, all completely written by AI. It was always just a way to masturbate your ego, but now you’re not even supposed to do the masturbation yourself, you just get an AI to do everything for you, completely blowing up mediocrity to sound like genius.
I don’t get the point of the site anymore. Literally nothing posted there is genuine. If anything, it just shows recruiters how utterly incompetent and braindead the person is.
Which seems to be exactly the people they want for management roles. At least in my experience. And I have been in those roles before, but couldn’t fit in. I always related more with workers, than the people that were supposed to be my peers.
It’s a ladder of ego stroking and politics.
AI it seems, is the perfect tool for these people. Imagine a service that always tells you that you are right!
LinkedIn has never been known for having any sort of intelligence.
everyone on that platform wants to show how ai ready they are by posting ai junk
Yeah, pretty much that. All corpos mandate AI use so posting AI crap there is the most productive AI use for the majority of people.
That’s what happens when you have an enhance-with-AI button as part of your posting tool. Then pair that with a platform for circlejerking corporate people.
Are people sure linkedin still exists? i haven’t seen anything from it for over a year
I’m guessing you’re not looking for a job. Lucky you
yeah. also like how about people who might need a reference from you. I would love to drop it if I can retire but even then I have to think of the people still on the mill.
I blocked LinkedIn on my home network when it came out that their website is full of spyware, and I haven’t sensed any loss.
I log in now and then to have a laugh at Ken Cheng posts and see responses from people who fall for them.
Rule of Acquisition 33: it never hurts to suck up to the boss!
feels right.
