I guess they never asked Claude to explain tmux to them.

I guess these people are not coders at all. Maybe they should ask claude to temporarily change the „lid close action“ in the power settings? ;)

I immediately thought of SSH but you're right. That's far too complicated for the next crop of AI synergy experts.

You don't need to be a "coder", just a vaguely competent computer user. It's really sad you've got people who just don't feel in control of their computers at all and would resort to not closing the lid.

I'm confused, if AI told are making these people more efficient, why do they need to use them to do "work" every waking moment?

The next version of MacOS should have a choice to "keep alive while the screen is closed" lol

Have they tried using remotely hosted servers instead?

They don't what a "server" is.

There is no cloud it's just someone else's computer. Some else will have to keep the lid open.

You can keep my computer's lid open for the low price of $25/mo

I'll need access to your webcam. I don't really believe in "The Cloud".
