You joke, but you need to understand that this was is real

I know this is a joke post, but can't you not just tell macos to only turn off the screen but keep the machine running?
Of course you can.
But that would... You know... Require someone thinking for themselves.
We can't have that now can we?
People might get ideas.
Nah, I'm pretty sure it just requires giving the background AI agent admin privileges. The agent can already accidentally spend millions of dollars on tokens, apparently, so admin powers don't actually make it all that much more dangerous

At my work, the IT decided that employees should not be allowed to modify this setting for some reason, and it is set to go to sleep if inactive, it is so frustrating. I don't use agents but still had situation that I wanted to have something running when being on lunch for example.
We have to do that because the entire HR department can't figure out how to lock their computers and they keep leaving PII up on their screen while they are out at lunch.
On the CLI or with 3rd party software yes, in the system settings no.
Edit: Or when an external display is attached it does it automatically, which is also not tunable. If I wasn't forced to at work I'd never use this OS.
It's better than Windows. I'm forced to use Windows at work and I want to go back to macOS.
This is also a joke about AI users. There was an article about them leaving their laptop screens open so their vibe coding would continue. Most of them use windows but don’t know how to change the power settings for closed lid/screen.
Or do what we've already been doing for ages? Let the agent run on a remote server and just use your laptop to ssh into that server when your input is needed.

Sidenote, but it's kind of crazy how no one in those Twitter threads seems to realize it's a joke product.
because it's targeted at tools, too
and also, it would break the hinges in intended use, and as pictured it can't work (doesn't hold the lower half). pair of wedge shaped things would work much better, i think
Omg i so wish that this was real. I would use it until the end of time to make fun of people.
Or you could just shove a half-eaten apple in there. It's cheap, it's on brand, it's sticky and you deserve it for buying Apple
Exactly the kind of extra an Apple user would buy to solve this problem.
Anyone else would investigate how to prevent sleepmode when the lid is closed.
Ah that’s funny,… it’s a joke right?
Right?!
Has to be fake, it would (somehow) be a subscription in reality.
why have they ripped the hinge off that poor macbook
keyboard is wrong way for the same reason
Do Macs seriously not let you control the options for when the screen is closed?
I was unaware of this until I saw the post about the dad taking care of his young daughter in the pool locker room with his laptop propped open. Pathetic.
WTF can't you have the computer run with the lid closed... works on windows and ubuntu..
Didn't realise macbook had a touchpad on the right side variant.
Image generation is still garbage.

Ya need a claw on both sides to really spread that apple.
Is this a goatse reference? Fuck, I'm old as fuck.
