Can confirm, this pushed me to delete the LinkedIn a few months ago and haven't looked back. It was at one time a professional portfolio, now I consider it a huge red flag if a company even questions why I do not have a LinkedIn. If you want references I will provide them. Social media is not a job requirement for any position I'm interested in.

> and haven't looked back I did the same but I'm aware that LinkedIn is probably how people got in touch with me in the past, eventually leading to a job. So I'm waiting before not having looked back until the next time I need a job :) Regardless, it's not the world I want to live in anymore so you just gotta disconnect.

Does LinkedIn lead to jobs?

Beyond the OP's AI-written or AI assisted distinction, I'm also noticing people mimicking LLM's speech patterns. I've read blogs from people who I'm quite sure are above pasting AI output directly into their words who nevertheless are sounding more and more like AI as the sum of all their conversations with Claude begins to rub off on them (myself included, probably)

I've noticed this happening to myself. I use Claude Code quite a bit at work, and Claude tends to favor certain phrases, like, "the smoking gun", that I didn't use very often before. After encountering phrases like that frequently, I've found myself incorporating some of them into my own speech.

Dead internet theory is becoming real. I’m looking forward to the elections coming up. Not many times I get to completely disengage from every online entity. Every time I post online I just assume I am talking to a LLM, with the elections I get to stop assuming.

I wrote a post on linkedin last year titled "Do not use AI to write." Boy, was it controversial. I could not believe how hard some people were pushing back in the comments. Quoting from myself there: "When you write your own words, you are forging your own voice. It is distinctive, conveys your unique world view, and connects with others in a way that is specific to you alone. If you use an AI tool to write for you i…

My mind sort of shuts off once I recognize something is written by AI. It's really hard to try and force myself to keep reading. Even if a piece of writing walks the line of being written by a human or AI, my mind will want to disengage.

At this particular time in history, it seems that almost all work is performative, showing up at work is a performance, and work isn’t even really necessary. We live in a dumb world.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I caught myself saying "push back" the other day. I've never said it before, it's a Claude-ism.

That's a corporate phrase that predates the current llm stuff along with things like ping, circle back,table that

Learnings, solutioning, synergy

It isn't surprising given how many people totally blew off assignments in english class growing up. Even pre ai, pre social media, reading was dying or already dead. Writing a close second. So many people in high powered positions sending those "ok Sent from my iPhone." emails. Many people in fact don't like doing. They like shutting off their brain. Sitting still and not using their body and letting muscles atrophy…

That was the low-key surprise for me in the Epstein files: so many rich, powerful people wrote at an early grade-school level even in professional contexts. I know that’s not a universal sample but it made me wonder how many unsung admin assistants, grad students, etc. cleaned up everything they wrote for a broader context.
