How do so many tech people not know about the power settings that can let the laptop run 100% even with the lid closed and on battery power? Like, how stupid are they? Has AI really atrophied their tech skills that much?

What really worries me about this article is this very dystopian idea that you’re supposed to be “working” 24/7, no breaks ever. Even when you’re out with your kids, why are you present in the moment instead of working? Open your laptop, go work. Wasn’t all the marketing abour the “AI Future” talking about getting things done faster? When did that turn into “Work 24/7 so you don’t waste your hourly token limit”? WTF?

I gotta hide this article. His punchable face on my feed is insufferable.

Does anyone have an example of a real world, AI coded thing? I keep hearing about all these vibe coders, but I’m not seeing any tangible products.

"Can’t you just disable sleep on close? " You really think they have technical competence for such?

It’s easy to lose track of time with these tools, he told Business Insider. Soon enough, the girls’ practice has ended, and the parents flood into the changing room. He joins them — with his laptop ajar, so that the AI agent can keep running. “I have to put it up on a shelf,” he said. “I’m untying my girls’ skates while looking back like: Is it done?” I just feel bad for these poor kids. You can’t leave your goddamn Claude at home while you take your kids to the rink?
