What would you like to do today?

Perfect. The CEO of LinkedIn - the mausoleum of synthetic ambition and algorithmic applause - is now running Office, the sanctified temple of performative productivity. At last, Microsoft closes the loop: content no one reads, written by people who don’t exist, for jobs that aren’t real.

In other words, an ouroboros of bullshit.

Or maybe a circular human centipede.

@elsergio: You really are on top form at the moment. Your mastery of expression shows you missed out on a career in literature, comedy or journalism. Or politics.

Would any of those have appealed?

Lovely choice of words! Could have used more alliteration.

That said, speaking purely personally, job search-wise, LI has been good to me for the last ... oh gods... 15 years.

At least in Australia it now seems to be the preferred method for recruiters and candidates to link, what with Seek being a CV graveyard.

But that's about it. Apart from #fridayfloof for cuteness overload and Aeronews for nice aviation videos and entertainment when reading comments from people who apparently think aircraft fly by magic.

The rest is "click on the X to ignore, especially if it's Suggested, which are just bot and AI generated nonsense now"

Microsoft replaces CEO of LinkedIn with AI "CoPilot-CEO"

LinkedIn is now one of Microsoft's most successful acquisitions

ROFL...

Like all MS acquisitions it went rapidly downhill as soon as the deal was closed.

Given the Brain Swamp of LinkedIn is a perfect match to the Garbage soup of the average copilot interaction its a natural fit

Join Linkedin today, it's wanktastic!

LinkedIn is fantastic.

It's a who's who of people you should never invite on a night out.

Not Office!

Obviously Ryan Roslansky doesn't have clue about what he is talking about, unless Microshaft has re-renamed Microsoft 365 back to Microsoft Office again. Either that or he has caught the Microshaft disease of not knowing how to explain something succinctly. More likely both!

Well obviously....

...if you have the capacity to take on a second job, you must have been paid way too much to do a half-arsed half-time job of the first role?

Linkedin is AI bullshit central, so fits right in with hyping copilot.
