The only ones losing their jobs to LLMs are fucking blog spammers, LinkedIn chronic posters and managers. They are also the same people who think LLMs are AI and that it can do anyone’s job.

LinkedIn is a cesspit of ‘professional influencers’ trying desperately to be seen as the most ‘innovative’ or ‘forward thinking’ expert in their industry. The good people, the ones who actually dig in deep and get shit done, I’ve found, don’t often have the time nor the want to constantly post.

It’s fucking tiring and so blatant.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

“We had to build a lot of stuff on our end to work around that and to make this a snappy experience,” Erran Berger, LinkedIn’s vice president of product engineering, told CNBC Wednesday.

He confirmed that premium subscribers can use the chatbot without any additional cost, saying they will see a boost in their job applications and can use AI-powered messaging suggestions to appeal to hiring managers and recruiters.

AI-powered job tools have been criticized in the past for exhibiting bias against female applicants and minority groups.

In 2018, Amazon scrapped its AI-powered recruitment engine after realizing the software singled out gender in resumes, thus discriminating against female applicants.

Likewise, a 2019 analysis conducted by Harvard Business Review found AI recruitment tools were also biased against Black candidates for job board recommendations.

The company continues to compete with other Big Tech corporation’s investments in OpenAI like Google, Meta, and Apple.
