LinkedIn is owned by Microsoft. Which makes Copilot and is hell driven on jamming AI into every product it makes, including Notepad.exe

So why on earth would they want to "crack down on AI"?

Short answer: they don't. It's a scam.

They want to train their AI on how to detect AI content, as well as improve its own generated slop so it becomes undetectable. And you, dear LinkedIn user, can help.

even online "muslim" spaces are so dominated by western muslims, we are exposed to bits and pieces of your cultures, your lives as western muslims but rarely does the opposite happen. try to name any muslim "influencer" or content creator online and practically all of them are from the west.

and then when i was in secondary school, i remember there was this whole fuss online about this white American girl who wore a qipao to prom and I guess the Chinese Americans were not happy about that because cultural appropriation. and somehow I don't remember how but one day we ended up talking about it in class. and we were sort of debating whether it was okay or not for that white girl to be wearing a chinese outfit to prom when she's not chinese.

and i remember my classmate (Chinese) was like "oh, yeah it's not okay, cause cultural appropriation." but like. It's not even comparable because the concept of cultural appropriation does not exist here. and I'm saying this as someone who also comes from a multicultural, multi-ethnic, multi-language society. so when we discuss american issues from which standpoint are we supposed to approach it? our standpoint or the american standpoint? Clearly this girl took the american standpoint, knowing full well that this wouldn't even be an issue if a white girl or literally any non-chinese girl turned up in a cheongsam to prom here. and vice versa with other ethnic clothing as well. which is like, why are we bringing in the american mindset over here? why make another society's problems into our own?
