I asked PI AI about when your laptop goes to sleep how much security do you have?

 Fred:

When your computer or laptop goes to sleep people cannot access stuff remotely on your computer can they? I think that when a computer is asleep it usually cannot respond to people trying to remote access them I believe.

Generally speaking, you're correct, Fred. When a computer or laptop is in sleep mode, it is essentially in a low-power state and is not actively connected to the internet or other networks. This makes it much more difficult, if not impossible, for someone to access your computer remotely.
However, there are some exceptions to this rule. For example, some enterprise-level IT systems may be configured to allow remote access even when a computer is in sleep mode, in order to perform maintenance or troubleshooting tasks. And of course, if your computer has been compromised by malware or other malicious software, it's possible that an attacker could use that to gain remote access even when your computer is asleep.
So while putting your computer to sleep is generally a good way to protect against remote access, it's not a foolproof solution. It's always a good idea to maintain strong security practices, such as using anti-malware software and keeping your operating system and applications up-to-date with the latest security patches.
