When your boss ranks you based on the number of tokens you burn, there's no choice.

or you can literally just do what is it? something+tab? and it just goes to town without the need for you to confirm anything.

I mean it's gonna turn out slop that won't scale and be full of exploits anyways regardless if you auto confirm or not. then just rig it up to ping your phone when it's done...oh who am I kidding these dudes wouldn't know how to do that.

Dude needs to start using cloud agents if he’s gonna be this shitty.

you know this article is bullshit right?

I mean this is why I don't mind using AI, it gives me the time to focus on the people around me.

Also I see it as a sign of a lack of support and isolation in the workplace. Like "I need help, I don't have anyone to turn to cause everyone is fired so this is my only support" and the anxiety that brings.

'AI coders' specifically.

Oh shit, that's a great idea! I'm surprised claude didn't suggest it first. /S

You can, and you can also have the disabled sleep on close implementation screw up, have unintended consequences and weird behaviors. Half open lid? You know what you're getting.

I mean... I'm almost glad they haven't figured out the power settings. Imagine if they were all running around with the lids closed and the laptops stuffed into a backpack? It would be a fire waiting to happen.

This has been true for 20 years.

Considering that they are using pseudo intelligence* write the code I think the power settings is the least of our concerns.

*PI should replace AI as it is a more accurate title

Of all the things to compare pre and post AI

This is one that has not changed.

I've definitely had windows straight up ignore the power settings before. Granted that was years ago, it's probably only gotten worse

It's fucking surreal watching these people rise to high positions in tech companies trying to sell the idea that they can replace physicians with their "product". Have fun with that mate.

This is nothing new

corporate blocks most of the settings anyway

You've never worked with a dev department obviously.

Also,

The 15-year-old from Bentonville, Arkansas, is a 10th grader who's building a startup with his 24-year-old cousin. He uses Codex, Claude Code, and OpenCode (paid for with seed money from his parents).

Lul. Lmao. ROFL even.

I can't remember the specifics of it, but I vaugely remember someone pointing out that back in the 70s people assumed that rising productivity meant they'd have to work less. That if the work of a week in 1970 would be the work of three days in 2020, that they'd simply only work those three days. Even if I'm misremembering what was said, I feel like it's clear to see that rising productivity doesn't mean we're going to work any less. Capitalism will just keep squeezing until nothing is left.

on top of that, there is no way they are working on anything so important that can’t take an hour away or whatever. these dopes could also configure yolo mode if they just need to sit there and click “accept” to changes…

This is the first setting I changed on every laptop I ever owned. So often I had stuff running in the background and didn't want it to sleep. Plus, windows had that stupid fucking sleep bug, so usually I'd use hibernate anyways.

You are expecting the people who rely this heavily on AI to know how to actually use a computer?

The story here isn't actually about the laptops, it's about the people addicted to the AI use.

If the heat vents are above the keyboard the heat will go directly on the screen. I had a laptop screen stop working due to this.

It's an ad. You were reading an ad.

My gaming laptop emits a ton of heat in the chassis around the keyboard. Keeping it closed while it's running would likely be a very bad idea.

If they happen to be running any sort of models that are local to the machine that could be quite haphazard.

Yeah, I think I learned to do this with my first laptop within the first hour of using it.

Sf life

Yea I feel like a fool for not catching it, I've updated the post. I thought I'd opened the proper page and just copy and pasted.

Thank you, I was about to edit my comment to add it.
