LinkedIn is now using everyone's content to train their AI tool -- they just auto opted everyone in (except folks in the EU, it seems)
I recommend opting out now (AND that orgs put an end to auto opt-in, it's not cool)
Opt out steps: Settings and Privacy > Data Privacy > Data for Generative AI Improvement (OFF)

We shouldn't have to take a bunch of steps to undo a choice that a company made for us.
Orgs think they can get away with auto opt in because "everyone does it".
If we come together and demand that orgs allow us to CHOOSE to opt in, things will hopefully change one day.

LinkedIn seems to have auto enrolled folks in the US, but hearing from folks in the EU that they are not seeing this listed in their settings (likely due to privacy regulations).
If you're outside of the US, I'm curious if you're seeing this?

@v_raton
"computer" types should just have their own websites with profiles, right? Only some do. I don't, so asking: why don't we?

I suspect sort of works for HR types, and that compels everybody else to be on it.

@racheltobac @vicgrinberg

@tetrislife @racheltobac @vicgrinberg but now #linkedin is awlful for HR too, a bunch of bulshit and political posts....
