LinkedOut: weaponized corporate satire powered by AWS
LinkedOut is a satire of modern LinkedIn culture, built during the CIC GenAI Hackathon on AWS. You type something painfully ordinary like "I opened my eyes today" and the app turns it into an over-engineered, AI-generated humble-brag post drenched in corporate jargon.
The interface is intentionally minimal: you type something boring, press a single button, and get a catastrophically over-celebratory LinkedOut post.
Prompts are engineered to maximize buzzwords, inspirational framing, and faux vulnerability while staying just barely plausible as a real post.
S3 for storage, Lambda for compute, and Bedrock for inference. No servers to patch.
IAM roles keep Bedrock, Lambda, and S3 tightly scoped. CloudWatch tracks every post generated.
We used Streamlit for rapid iteration at the hackathon: single-page app and instant reloads.
Endless scrolling full of AI slop as a parody of what a lot of today's LinkedIn has become.
