I wonder when the LinkedIn “thought leaders” constantly posting about how AI will eat consulting will realize that AI already ate the “thought leader” industry.

This lady is going off about ICE at airports, but ignores that families and elderly are having to wait in TSA lines for hours to fly.

This is just fear mongering, I have brown family and immigrant family and no one is walking around scared like this lady explains. Not that people dont feel that way, but it's 100% fear mongering.

Also, a 'Texas-born Mexican' is called an American. I swear people want attention SO BAD.

Can we stop calling it “Fractional” CFO, CTO, CMO, COO, etc?

We all know you’re just Part-Time and not qualified enough for the permanent role elsewhere.

Someone needs to start an “AI Cringe” bowl. I feel like I’m knee-deep in AI garbage with fake singers and bands slipping into my Spotify radio playlists and friends sending me TikTok reels of midget donkeys in Pet-store pens. Even my 70-year-old mother is sending me videos of dogs jumping off diving boards in canine “Olympics”.

I’ve seen obnoxious posts about getting married on LinkedIn before, but I’ve never seen someone specify the religion of their ceremony. What kind of probably xenophobic virtue signaling bs is this?
