for fellow people who used linkedin ~ seems like they've opted everyone into Generative AI scraping lmaoooosob to turn it off, go to Settings > Data Privacy > Data for Generative AI Improvement > Toggle Off

Just a friendly note that you have to opt out TWICE (that option and you need to fill out a LinkedIn Data Processing Objection Form. I highly recommend reading this The Verge article (and also, follow The Verge they are very good about reporting on this nonsense). bsky.app/profile/verg...

LinkedIn is training AI models on your data

There are two opt-outs available.

Wtf does LinkedIn of all companies need a generative AI for? These companies have no clue what to actually do with the things they steal for. I'm not on there, still thank you for the heads up and spreading awareness. ✨

but then i'd have to login to linkedin :(

womp womp (thanks for the heads up)

Interesting, that option doesn't appear here in Germany/EU.

If sombody else is from Germany, can you check if this shows up for you? Because on my (german) settings it doesnt. Maybe they dont scrape in the EU yet? I dont know.

Ooof! Thanks for the heads up.
