Claes de Vreese ☑️LinkedIn user? Starting November 3 posts will be used to train their AI.
Unless you opt out, actively.
Your text, your data, your choice! This should have been an opt-in, not op-out
Jesper Lund@claesdevreese Delete your account - only responsible thing to do
RegYes. Opt-in/opt-out clauses are a sketchy protection with big tech.

The Penguin of Evil@je5perl @claesdevreese You can also post AI poisoning nonsense - it's not like anyone will be able to tell it from the rest of linkedin's bullshit
@etchedpixels @je5perl @claesdevreese
From what I've heard it seems that a lot of LinkedIn content is AI-generated already, so this might be a pretty incestuous activity for AI development.
Third spruce tree on the left@je5perl @claesdevreese Take off and nuke the site from orbit. Its the only way to be sure.
Jürgen HubertI thought for some time that we need a Fediverse-based alternative to LinkedIn.
Stjep@claesdevreese I've immediately opted out of pretty much everything as soon as I saw this notification.
Fardels BearI wouldn't have thought that scraping Linkedin posts could in any way '"improve" the quality of AI slop. Quite the reverse.
PetterOfCats@riggbeck @claesdevreese it’s eating itself.
TxzK@claesdevreese Big tech doesn't understand the concept of consent. They think they are by default entitled to all of your data, no matter how private.

When Saudi Arabia decides to surveill the world with the help of anti-democracy tech oligarchs, there are no half-measures.

Jason Petersen (he)@claesdevreese most or all of the posts I see are already AI
mcc@claesdevreese I thought I already opted out once
Cromley"We will continue to honor all of your prior setting choices."
I opted out a while back, and that's still what it shows in my settings. Let us know if you see different!

Willow "Wolveric" Catkin@claesdevreese #Alt4You A screenshot of a pop-up on LinkedIn.
The title of the pop-up reads:
"Update to our terms and data use"
The body of the pop-up reads:
"Starting November 3, 2025, we'll use some of your LinkedIn data to improve the content-generating AI thjat enhances your experience, unless you opt out in your settings. We're also updating our terms. See what's new and how to manage your data. Learn more"
Dizzy@claesdevreese is not default opt-out even legal in Europe?
Mad Alex@claesdevreese I opted out by deleting my account.
Annette C. Boehm@claesdevreese just the little nudge I needed to finally delete my useless account there.
Thibaultmol 🌈@claesdevreese because the llm's weren't good enough already at outputting linkedin ai slop? XDD
Andy Wootton@claesdevreese We could just leave LinkedIn. It's been getting worse for a long time.
xmlns="Dan"@claesdevreese I can't imagine a more mentally ill AI that one trained on LinkedIn posts. If anything this might be a positive if it brings about the end of all this LLM nonsense.
Gaëtan PerraultThanks for this. I have now clicked the appropriate boxes.
Pj@claesdevreese the time to leave LinkedIn was 2016-12-08.
Sarah W@claesdevreese
Thanks for the heads up.
Thanks for the heads up.
dasdom@claesdevreese Could you please add ALT text to the image so I can boost your post?
nora 🐭 (she/her)@claesdevreese there are posts on linkedin that are not already AI generated?!?!?
Ölbaum@claesdevreese @rebeccafinn I mean, if they want to poison their models with meaningless pompous drivel, let them.
Becca 🏳️⚧️ 🇺🇦 🇸🇩 🇵🇸@oscherler @claesdevreese remember what happened in The Simpsons when Nelson fed the "output" to the "input" of the functioning digestive system model that Marge built overnight for Bart? Welp...
pa28@claesdevreese Was already off but took this opportinity to look at my profile and turn off some other stuff.

@claesdevreese I opted out back when I deleted my LinkedIn for what they did to to that trans woman. I can't remember her name, but they demanded she "present her authentic identity" and suspended her account. So I deleted and gave them my best "Fuck transphobia and fuck you!" in the "Why are you leaving?" survey.
Fuck bigotry!
Fuck bigotry!
