tl;dr: The author rants about LinkedIn's flood of nearly identical "YOLO computer vision" projects (hand tracking, pothole detection, etc.) that are performative, trivial, and never actually deployed anywhere useful. To prove the point, they built their own YOLO-based detector for these slop posts in about 90 minutes using Roboflow and Ultralytics, concluding that LinkedIn rewards looking impressive over actual skill, since nobody dares criticize for fear of hurting their job prospects. | |
