But... why?

The whole point is that the profiles are real people to network with professionally. The second people know that a profile might be a corporate bot, I feel like the site is done.

Besides, just have a python script that generates generic guy names and picks 10 random IT/ business skills, plus a 30% chance to add "synergy", "go getter", or "team-oriented", and you'll have recreated the same effect as your LLM, and saved yourself 40 million.

I have one but I never post anything. On those rare occasions I log in, all the corporate bootlicking makes me want to immediately log off.

It is useful for learning which of your coworkers are pathological ass-kissers, though. Seems like the fewer in-demand skills they have, the more they post "motivational" BS on LinkedIn....

You can disable this in Settings -> Data privacy -> Data for generative AI improvement.

the hell are they going to train it on? jerking itself off? cause that's all it's going to "learn" if it trains on Linkedin profiles and posts.

It's just going to slurp up a bunch of tech bros posts that think AI is the second coming. it's just going to learn that it thinks it's hot shit when it's not.

i had my linkedin profile suspended in case i ever needed it for something. now i had it closed instead, though not before deleting any worthwhile information on it, not that i believe they will actually delete my information despite whatever they claim.

As someone who basically doesn't use linkedin anymore, and also doesn't particularly care if they train a terrible AI model on my information, can someone explain to me why should I bother to turn off this setting (I have not logged into linkedin in months)?

As if they weren't already doing it without your permission.

I fucking hate this. Fuck social network companies.

Soon as I got the email, I read through it, clicked the link, and disabled that. And then later shared direct quotes around (through WhatsApp Status. Unfortunate, but it's the only means I have to quickly get to as many people — without directly spamming messages around)
