@skynebula I have not been there for years and after seeing this I'm scared to even peek (but morbidly curious) what is GOING ON over there?An environment filled with "polite" upwardly mobile people who all kind of want to kill each other now has LLMs and AI images to "assist" them? What could go wrong?GPT-up a bunch of former fake coworkers to praise and hype you up? That must be happening.

@futurebird @skynebula I exited last year, after realising that I never got *any* benefit of being on there, even when job hunting, and it was just a source of spam that I had to keep deleting unread from my email.It was a concurrent victim of my rage-quit from Google.

@futurebird @skynebula Seems like every single thing anyone says about it without exception is... not great...Ironically this just popped up on my feed just now, pretty close to when you asked that: https://cyberplace.social/@GossiTheDog/114344414468722466

@futurebird @skynebula I'd understood LinkedIn as just where you kept track of people you planned to use as job references, and the occasional recruiter or HR person. Posting my actual opinion on anything on there seems self-destructive.

@skynebula Just saw this on tumblr. And what does it say that I'm so scared to look at linkedin directly I'm treating it like a creepy gore site from the 00s and relying on other people to tell me what's going on over there through rumors? "cw graphic descriptions of likedin hustle behaviour"very legit content warning for safety and mental health.

@skynebula Though this does help explain why there seems to be "demand" for AI. Companies keep adding it to everything and I don't understand why. It's not wanted. I do not enjoy it. But, there is a whole world where people are just diving in to this stuff with joy and enthusiasm.

@futurebird @skynebula "companies keep adding it to everything and I don't understand why"Because they may convince some people to change workflows in a way that money will flow towards those companies instead of other people. You don't need to pay designers, just pay us. You don't need to pay programmers, just pay us.Etc

@futurebird @skynebula If this is going to work at all, it would presumably involve feeding all his clients' communication with him into GPT as a prompt, sending it all off to OpenAI.If I were his client (presumably also on LinkedIn) I would raise some eyebrows over that.

@ContraindiKate @skynebula You’d think I’d be the expert on this. I hate socializing. Gives me anxiety. But… None of this stuff makes any sense either.

@ContraindiKate @futurebird @skynebula I’m beginning to wonder if on some level it’s not just avoiding the work of humanizing others, but the peril of humanizing themselves, from a fearful equivalence of negotiation with malicious manipulation; wanting to socially exist as an inscrutable black box to which desiderata flow, but without leaking any vulnerable information as to why (let alone reciprocal obligations.)

@ContraindiKate @futurebird @skynebula End stage consumerism, maybe?

@ContraindiKate @cwicseolfor @skynebula This why I think the most horrible torture one could invent for some of these power-obsessed men who play life like a video game would be the gift of being loved and knowing that they are loved (not celebrated, loved, cared for) and the weight responsibility that carries. That wouldn’t be pleasant but it would be … educational. And for the same reasons it would be so awful it will never happen.

@futurebird @skynebula This is NOT a defense of so-called AI: He's finally learning a skill denied to most boys. Girls are encouraged to play with dolls and thereby gain empathy skills.
