"It's also pretty wild the button specifically uses the term "AI slop" and not, say, "It seems this was generated with AI."

It makes sense. They don't care if the content is AI generated, this is not a moral stance because linkedin doesn't do those. This is people complaining about slop and LinkedIn pretending to care

Actually, it's exactly the same issue. Just using a different program.

It's not the same issue.

The pdf redaction folks drew black bars over extant text and hid it that way.
The excel chap clicked on "hide this tab".

There is no evidence that anyone was trying to redact anything when they hid the tab, they may have just been trying not to confuse the recipient. The person who hid the sheet is not the person who shared the document. Any similarity which did exist would be irrelevant because format shifting to a PDF would still solve this problem.

The example might have been chosen because synthsizing cocaine from raw materials is hard, so revealing a process that begins with "obtain illegal drugs" is unlikely to do harm.

In many cases, coca leaf is not illegal. You can buy coca tea in Peru. People frequently bring it back into this country because it just looks like tea. It's a reasonably mild stimulant, similar in effect to smoking a cigar. I understand that you need quite a bit to make any significant amount of cocaine, but I've never tried so I wouldn't really know.

That's what I was talking about in another thread in this discussion when I said PDFs have their own issues but they wouldn't apply here. That's a problem when redacting PDFs, WHICH NO ONE SHOULD EVER DO. They should either go back to the source document, redact that, and create a new PDF; Or they should create an image from the PDF, redact that, and then they can publish that as a new PDF.
