491. AI slop and glitches on LinkedIn

About this episode

This episode discusses various feedback and questions regarding LinkedIn's features, AI issues, and community engagement.

And what happens to that comment if someone reposts our post? ——— 875 LinkedIn employees (5% of workforce) sacked! Is AI slop really going away? We need a "report as AI" feature! "Nonconsensual intimate imagery" warnings.
