My only question is how much of the models is being run offline and how much is the computer just siphoning up all the actions you do and feeding it into the cloud. Microsoft has a very bad history with user privacy, especially lately.

#22Is Microsoft Copilot and GitHub Copilot the same thing?
No. Microsoft aren't even clear with their own copilot branding in the core MS products. In MS-land, anything to do with AI is just labeled Copilot right now.

#23Well I know which model to avoid should I need to pick up new hardware. But to be honest, more then likely I would pick up an old Thinkpad.

Copilot is Microsoft's branding for all things AI for their products.

#25Will this run locally, or is part of the work outsourced? With "Recall", can law enforcement ask your laptop "Has your user done anything suspicious lately"?
Coverage on Windows Central says it is all local. As for the law enforcement question, it doesn't matter. If they want to get info from your computer, they will and they don't need AI to help.

This is a poor take. Law enforcement needs a warrant to seize your computer to get your data normally. Law enforcement only needs a compliant and willing corporate person to willingly give over your data to law enforcement. It's about who owns it and where is it located and the protections around it.

#27The AI is the least interesting part of this announcement. Microsoft is giving ARM another try with a special branding that's supposed to guarantee some level of performance and quality. That's possibly huge news.
It's also notable that Qualcomm is officially upstreaming kernel support for the Snapdragon Elite platform that Microsoft is pushing, so those systems may actually not suck at running Linux.

They made a big deal of saying how private and secure it is, all running locally. However, nothing prevents that from changing in the future.
And for the law enforcement, I presume if they can log into your account, they can likely extract and view everything if you have the feature enabled.

No. It's more like ChatGPT
