I Built a LinkedIn Slop Detector in 90 Minutes

The author rants about LinkedIn's performative culture, where every other post is a generic computer vision project, like hand tracking or pothole detection. To prove how trivial these are, he builds his own YOLO-based detector for such posts in 90 minutes, from data collection to training. The real issue, he argues, is that LinkedIn rewards looking interesting over actual skill, so everyone claps and moves on.
It’s a platform built around selling yourself for a job, so what survives isn’t skill; it’s looking interesting. It’s just LARPing productivity.
