And his post was clearly written by AI. The phrasing of “This is not X, it is Y”, is super typical for ChatGPT prose
THERE’S SO SO MUCH MORE. Dead serious - at some point I was thinking if this guy is mocking the AI speech, the congestion of LLM patterns here is just ridiculous.
I read a LinkedIn post on Lemmy today.
The style was concise. Painfully concise. Sentences filed down to icepicks that stabbed at my sanity. And yet, somehow completely superfluous - how is this possible?
The answer separates ordinary workers from real paradigm-shifters in the modern economy: AI.
You dont have to like it. But when I get an application, I dont even read the resume. Skills and hard work don’t matter anymore. That’s what AI is for.
What matters is the cover letter. I look for jargon. Short, meaningless catchphrases. Humblebrags.
I dont want the next great engineer. I want the next great LinkedIn poster.
Welcome to the vaporware job market. Get on board or get left behind.

“I was in Taiwan and had tea on the balcony.”
“Yeah, we ordered those on Amazon. Do you have any idea how expensive traditional clay pots are? Dumbfucks are just going to drop and break them anyway.”
And no one knows how to use them anyway. At least not the majority of people.
Jesse, what the fuck are you talking about?
So insightful and profound. He should start his own religion!
“You could make an religion out of this”
“please don’t”

I understand the words. I understand them together.
I do not understand what the point of the original post was, other than a linkedinlunatic huffing their own farts.
Does this person think their post will be seen by a recruiter who will go “yes, this is who we need heading our (insert department/company here)!”
Same. Classic corpo speak. Say a bunch of words without actually saying anything.
I don’t even understand the words. I’m trying to figure out if he thinks it’s bad that they put something special in a generic carafe, or good that they used something “modern”?
I’m leaning toward the latter (and disagree, seems like it would detract from the experience, but in the end, who the fuck cares?), but I’m not sure.
This reads like someone who has read everything William Gibson ever wrote without understanding that it was all making fun of people like him.
It reads like something that scanned everything William Gibson ever wrote without understanding jack shit about anything.
He made a post about this? Why?
I want my minute from skimming his post back please.
A lot of companies require you to post on LinkedIn regularly for brand building and “presence”. Sometimes it’s built into your KPIs. So with the advent of AI you just post crap to get it over with. Even if it negatively impacts your personal brand… Game theory stuff I guess.
this was written by AI, no doubt

Sounds like the rubbish the Starbucks CEO was on about not so long back. Each visit an ‘experience’, or something.
When did marketing decide I had to have orgasms to be able to drink tea or coffee?
Experience is a real thing. the problem is that marketing wants to charge $1000 per coffee and need an excuse for the extra $995, and so they’ll slap on a big “experience!” sign as justification, whether it’s warranted or not.

What’s the last drink you had that felt like an experience, not just a beverage?
Earl Grey with mint tea, citrus juice, hot weather.
