LinkedIn's AI Optimism Is a Professional Performance, Not a Belief

The sharpest observations about LinkedIn's AI culture tend to arrive from outside it. A Bluesky user's comment — that LinkedIn must be "the preferred social media site for people who have never had a doubt or negative thought about ai" ^[7] — functions less as a critique of LinkedIn users than as a description of the platform's selection pressure. The people expressing AI enthusiasm on LinkedIn are not necessarily more enthusiastic than their peers elsewhere. They are expressing the version of their views that the platform rewards.
