OK, Fediverse, let's try this.
Uploaded CV to LinkedIn, signed up for their Premium trial &c.
It's doing... abysmally, laughably bad.
Keen to see if it does better here.
My strengths: learning design, commissioning in educational publishing, digital production for lifelong learning.
Not looking for full time work right now - just curious to connect with anyone who might have a gig I'm a fit for.
Boost and share, please?

Call HR. Email your boss. It's that simple. If they want performance, each team gets a doggo.
(My remote comrades - would you be tempted back to the office with a fluffy perk like this?)

"We're waiting for some results."
Over the past 2 years, I could count the times I was even slightly-borderline-mildly satisfied with any AI output on the fingers of one hand. (Even an AI-generated hand.)
The bullsh*t won't be purged in a future iteration. The systems won't work without an army of low-wage workers cleaning up behind the scenes.
Billions of dollars and millions of megawatts later, the shine is coming off, and the patience is gone.

I know we'll all have our opinions about #LinkedIn's decision to join the #Fediverse, and that's fine.
Personally, I believe it's for the best. I've been missing out on a lot, I think - sometimes I find myself thinking, "hey, what *do* true leaders do straight after getting out of bed at 4am?" So it's good that this discourse is coming over to complete Fediverse's story.
I'll be editing my bio soon to make it more useful and friendly to new LinkedIn visitors. Please give them a warm welcome!
