I'm surprised she was able to plug anything in with her boobs in the way.

I am so glad I don't have to deal with computers like that in my life. I cannot imagine the troubleshooting steps involved with figuring out which of the 73,698 wires you plugged into the wrong place.

This looks like AI.

In fact, no, what the fuck is going on in any of this image? Her shin is 10% of her leg, she's sitting on a foot-tall stool for a waist-high computer, the panels come out at 40-degree angles, there's a sawhorse meshing into one, they're apparently mounted four feet from the wall... this is fucking nonsense.
