Joke's on them because my LinkedIn content is devoid of intelligence
Jokes on you because nobody else’s content is intelligent either.
Why is this downvoted.
LinkedIn is now using everyone's content to train their AI tool

#172> I recommend opting out now Little point. It'll be like facebook's opt-out and only cover things you post/update going forward. Everything you've already posted has already been slurped into the training set and won't be taken out and the model(s) retrained. The only way to show disapproval in this sort of behaviour that they'll feel is to stop using services that use auto-opt-in for anything, and not enough people…
I wonder how this works if someone in a GDPR country got slurped up somehow. Could they demand the entire LLM be deleted?
A person from Sweden is here.
The opt-out option doesn't exist in my setting. So it seems like they are targeting areas outside of the EU for this slurping, at least on the surface.
Since I can never prove whether my data was included in the AI or not... they could slurp it regardless and claim ignorance until some internal whistleblower brings it to light.

#173Somehow i feel sad for this AI model. All the others are trained on authentic content and this boy gets socialised on the most shallow content imaginable. Poor, socially awkward AI.
What if he overcomes the insecurities of the daily "founders don't take vacations" posters yet maintains their confidence and bravado? He will become unstoppable.

#174I would suggest that if LinkedIn is training their AI models on user data and content, users should get a copy of the said model free of charge. That or LinkedIn should at least be compelled to ask explicit permission for model training. None of this Darth Vader stuff where they "altered the deal".
In their TOS they probably give themselves the right to do whatever the hell they want with the stuff you post there. If you store your data on someone else's computer, it's not yours any more, no matter how personal it is.
TOS do not, in practice, constitute informed consent, especially if they are silently changed, without a human readable summary and an explicit opt-in

You've succinctly described how business people are part of the problem, not the solution.
If you’re not part of the primary user base, how would you know the problem?
Their culture and personality is the problem. I think there are very few people on earth that have never met one of these people.

You should check this out: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bullshit_Jobs
And you should consider that it's probably junk. From the article: A 2021 study empirically tested several of Graeber's claims, such as that bullshit jobs were increasing over time and that they accounted for much of the workforce. Using data from the EU-conducted European Working Conditions Survey, the study found that a low and declining proportion of employees considered their jobs to be "rarely" or "never" useful…
Spoken like one of the six managers every single person needs to have.

These are self-reported, though.
I wouldn't tell my boss or my colleagues the job I do is useless for hopefully obvious reasons, but when I really think about it in the grand scheme of things it really is a Bullshit Job. Basically any SaaS is (with some exceptions of course) just a collection of Bullshit Jobs.
But there's also nothing really wrong with that. We live in the society we live in, which basically necessitates the existence of many Bullshit Jobs in order for things to keep working as they do. I'd even argue basically anything that isn't to do with Healthcare, Education or similar things along those lines count as bullshit jobs really.

#178all linkedin content already now feels ai-generated. the transformer being b & c players regurgitating other people's motivational stories and "humbled" announcement posts and of course with a selfie attached to it for no reason other than the algorithm
Re: LinkedIn is now using everyone's content to train their AI tool
#179Y'all will never convince me that the majority of content on LinkedIn hasn't been machine generated for years now. Some of the SEO-optimised corporate-speak drivel on there makes ChatGPT look like Shakespeare.

#180Dear LinkedIn, i don't care about your new shiny AI. Fix your primary features first, like the jobs tab doesn't show anything for me in any company, your job search is amateur (I could have implemented it better) and website and application are always laggy and overheating my iPhone or m1 after a couple minutes.
