Such a weird feeling when you can’t tell if someone is a bot on LinkedIn or just another extremely boring but overeager LinkedIn junkie.

But like… B2B marketer types do be like that sometimes

I haven’t tried it yet. What’s your impression?

I can’t even imagine being a LinkedIn junkie. People that post on there regularly are infected by some sort of brain worm that thrives on late stage capitalism. 

My inbox gets a LOT of AI. If you have any work experience in crypto you will get bombarded by fake/hacked accounts sending malicious links. A new common scam is also fake recruiters setting up “interviews” and stealing your money or personal info in the process. Online scams  like these  are a just game of numbers. The more bait you cast the more fish you can  catch. Now AI is allowing scammers to dump buckets of bait.

At this point, I just assume everyone’s an AI until proven otherwise!
