I invited X bots to scrape my LinkedIn posts

Tom KirkmanIndependent Project Manager

For amusement, I have invited a few (obvious) bots on X over here to my LinkedIn posts, giving the bots my LinkedIn URL so they can scrape my posts for their nefarious purposes.

Please realize that my posting absurdist unserious fun on internet forums goes back to the days of Usenet before the turn of the century, where anything and everything was ok to post and dissect.

Waiting to see how the LinkedIn AI censors react to bots from X posting inane comments to my frequently absurd, surreal posts.

    generally I adore the comments by the usual suspects here.

    Otherwise this place gets kinda boring.

    Everyone needs to laugh at silly stuff, to relieve stress.
