No shit?
Jokes on them. I already use generative AI to impersonate myself on LinkedIn.
Or.
Delete your data, if you cant delete it, edit it.
Then Leave the platform
There are very few places on the Internet where your data won’t be scraped and used for AI training. Every social media company does this, including Discord and Reddit. Federated platforms are quite easy to scrape (not sure if they are yet). Even if you make your own website, it’s definitely going to be scraped by crawlers from every company wanting to make AI.
It’ll be very hard to prove they respect the button. Considering they probably sourced the data immediately after the button was put in place.
Can’t wait for the bots to tell us what they learned about b2b marketing!
As a human bot in b2b marketing, the dark arts are antithetical to learning. To market is to forget.
LinkedIn is a place for corporate bootlickers, if anything they will be elated to hear that.
My LinkedIn feed is actually mostly people outranged by it and they are mostly people who are very pro AI typically. A lot of people get frustrated at LinkedIn especially because they don’t provide anything to creators and make all their money off of them.
Jokes on them I don’t post anything
If I was a capitalist sociopath I’d go close my LinkedIn but I’m human so I never had one…
I think i had one… no, that was Xing. Wait, what happened with that account?
Thank you for posting. I went through the rigmarole (again) of turning off all of their data hoarding, data selling, creepy analytics stuff. Again, mind you. I’ve done it before.
Ok. I’m gonna ask a question that sounds rhetorical and critical but I want you to know this is a genuine question.
Why are you using LinkedIn? What’s the point? What possible service can it provide you?
Thank you for the pretext!
I was asked to make one while in college, and after college, used it alongside other platforms like Indeed, Monster, and my local state jobs board to find a job. Left it active because I don’t use it for anything than reaching out to recruiters or answer them back. It has one use, and that is networking. People who use it as a social media are using it wrong, in my opinion, but to each their own!
Cheers setting changed
This setting is under ‘Data privacy’ - > ‘How LinkedIn uses your data’ - > ‘Data for generative AI improvement’
Missing in the Netherlands too. Maybe they excluded EU till they have bribed enough people to allow it.
Don’t see it here in Sweden.
Same, also in Sweden.
I don’t have that setting at all? Maybe being rolled out in waves or something?
I’m from the UK on mobile. Maybe it’s a geographic or platform thing?
That’s because you left the EU.
Treating a company as a plural always sounds awkward to me.
And unlike with Reddit and Stack Overflow (other platforms that have pulled shit like this) , poisoning your data to sabotage generative AI efforts is going to make you look like a fucking degenerate in front of current and past employers.
This is pretty fucking evil.
Done. Tx.
