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.

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?

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.

@futurebird @skynebula plus I guess with the "attention economy":
- wouldn't it be so easier if instead of thinking about that task/interacting with real people you could just get an answer from us?
- don't think about that thing you need to do, think about us! Or at least think about us while doing that thing
- if you don't need to think as much about that thing, you can spend more time thinking about us
