An example:
Influencer A posts something about how agents can reliably regenerate complex software from the original specs in minutes. (That is extremely improbable.)
Influencer B reads A's post and extrapolates that entire product designs can be tried out multiple times a day without anybody writing a line of code, and posts "Software engineering is dead!"
Influencer C reads B's post and concludes "Don't bother learning to code, kids!" and advises everyone to train as plumbers
And so on.

Of course, this compounding effect relies on most LinkedIn influencers refraining from fact-checking or testing the claims.
