So, soon we will see AI generated job descriptions for American companies offering 6-month paternity leave and 30 days/year paid vacations?
welho•31m ago
Perhaps this will fix the work-life balance for American people in the long term.
Vinnl•25m ago
Off topic, but less than a decade ago paternity leave in the Netherlands was just two days, and it's still nowhere near six months, unfortunately.

Thank you.
Igrom•22m ago
Thanks. This should have been _opt in_, and not opt out, regardless of any LinkedIn newsletter emails that automatically go to the garbage bin.
amelius•17m ago
Surprised the EU did not make "opt in" the mandatory default for something like this.
thrance•5m ago
I wish it did, but I am not surprised it does not. The EU remains a fundamentally pro-business organization at its core.

> The company says it will rely on “legitimate interests” as its legal basis and will offer an opt-out so members can refuse use of their data for training

"Legitimate interest" is a very specific term in context of GDPR. Not a lawyer, but have been looking into it previously, and I doubt "we want to feed data to our AI so we can make more money" passes the Legitimate Interest Assesment (LIA) test.

Here's an example of a test that must pass (sorry, docx, but way better than a random explainer): https://ico.org.uk/media2/for-organisations/forms/2258435/gd...

tgsovlerkhgsel•11m ago
That looks like it would be easy to argue that it passes (claiming "makes the platform better for everyone", "not achievable without using the data", "the data is data that the people share voluntarily on the platform and isn't sensitive", "they're customers, we e-mailed them and they could opt out if they cared", "we expect this to have no impact on the individuals" (until the AI starts regurgitating sensitive details, but that's an "oops" for later), and "we are offering an opt-out even though we wouldn't have to" (claimed despite the lawyer strongly urging an opt-out, otherwise they wouldn't have even offered that).
thimabi•17m ago
These days LinkedIn is a cesspool of AI-generated feel-good “inspirational” content anyway… I don’t see anything good coming out of training models from its user data.

Great! Now AI will be optimized for humble-bragging about thought leadership and congratulating connections on work anniversaries they forgot about.
OtherShrezzing•16m ago
As far as I can tell, LinkedIn's content is already 99% LLM generated posts.

The resulting models might be a terrible hybrid distillation of GPT5 and Claude with a strong preference for hustle culture & banal parables.

Evolution of LinkedIn posts over time...

"Should you choose to inscribe the lexical designation 'DOMINATE' within the commentary section, I shall subsequently furnish you with my proprietary methodology for accumulating substantial financial wealth in the millions."

"Comment the word DOMINATE and I'll share my secret method for making millions of dollars."

"yo if u type DOMINATE in comments ill tell u how 2 get mad rich like millions n stuff fr fr no cap"

jgalt212•3m ago
Seriously, I cannot fathom any real benefit that LinkedIn would accrue from training on the pathologically upbeat pablum posted by its users and bots acting on behalf of its users.

I've said this elsewhere: The EU should crack down on this. Opt-out is not acceptable behavior.
