I read a LinkedIn post on Lemmy today.

The style was concise. Painfully concise. Sentences filed down to icepicks that stabbed at my sanity. And yet, somehow completely superfluous - how is this possible?

The answer separates ordinary workers from real paradigm-shifters in the modern economy: AI.

You dont have to like it. But when I get an application, I dont even read the resume. Skills and hard work don't matter anymore. That's what AI is for.

What matters is the cover letter. I look for jargon. Short, meaningless catchphrases. Humblebrags.

I dont want the next great engineer. I want the next great LinkedIn poster.

Welcome to the vaporware job market. Get on board or get left behind.
