    No need to explain “What is ML/AI” every time.

    Oh you absolute goon. No one wants to hear your half baked techno jargon explanation of your ‘prompt engineering job’ they are trying to be nice and get to know you…

    Guy doesn’t seem to understand what a “work persona” is. I wouldn’t want to date my own work persona let alone anyone else’s.

      I don’t even have a linkedin work persona. its an online resume as well as a way to stay in touch with coworkers mainly by getting or giving recommendations. I don’t get why anyone posts there.

        Once you’re above a certain level of wealth, you don’t need a worksona any more. Getting fired is just a temporary setback. The terrifying truth is that some people are actually like this; they think they are their careers. ML isn’t just the thing he does, it’s a part of who he is.

          I mean I have a dual major science degree and worked in the field. It is the type of field where it is sorta who you are. Unfortunately like a lot of things its so enshitified no one should really do that anymore.

    On the one hand, the idea of using linkedin as a dating website is irredeemably terrible. On the other hand, if singles who think otherwise actually follow through with it, that saves a bit of time and frustration for a lot of other people.

    Dude was probably being set up for an arranged marriage by his family, which can potentially pair you with someone you do not share any interests with or even attracted to in the first place. With that context, it kinda makes sense that he wants someone who at least shares something similar with him, and I guess linkedin is one way of finding out (in his mind).

            Sorry didn’t mean to sound like such a dick just woke up when I asked that!

            That’s cool though, I haven’t seen much about that, I’ll check into it some time

            There is probably something to be said about people that would go through with it and their mindset to growing with each other?

              Yup. What they basically said is that their parents do a good job of finding a good match, and both parties try to make it work. That last part is the biggest component of a successful marriage IMO, most problems can be resolved if both parties are interested in resolving them and willing to sacrifice for the other.

              I still very much don’t like the system, but it’s not as bad as I thought it was.

    Never thought about it, but how does LinkedIn finance its service?

    Edit: looked it up
    Membership fees, marketing services and recruiting solutions

    Now that I think about it, there are some premium account things you can pay for
    As I don’t use it much, I’ve never really looked into it

      Premium subscription that allows messaging people out of your network and provides a bunch of analytics about profile/article views. I know sales, marketing, and recruiting people that love it.
