It means it's the kind of stuff that law enforcement would require a warrant in order to obtain.

I think that's just regular Copilot (without the plus). This is a newer version, at least that's what this quote from the article leads me to believe:

I got ahold [sic] of the Copilot+ software and got it working on a system without an NPU about a week ago

The regular Copilot (without the plus) that sits in the taskbar was rolled out in an update about a month or two ago.

Also, this part of the article gives a method to check if it's running:

Q. How do you obtain the database files?

A. They’re just files in AppData, in the new CoreAIPlatform folder.

Unfortunately there are at least two AppData folders (three to be exact, but one of them is rarely used), and it doesn't specify whether it's %APPDATA% or %LOCALAPPDATA%, but I just checked on my Windows machine (Win11 with all updates installed, including Copilot), and I can find no such folder in either of these paths.

EDIT: the video in this toot clearly shows the location of the database folder, and it's in %LOCALAPPDATA%, which makes sense given that it's stuff that's not supposed to leave your device.

EDIT2: this tweet seems to confirm that this is indeed a feature that's only shipped on certain new devices, which need to be specially certified because Copilot+ requires hardware support.

Always has been.

That reminds me of a hilarious Instagram video I saw the other day, but of course I can't find it again now.

Hey, it's a free country! Knock yourself out.

Yes, that TED talk is probably where I got this idea from. And I agree on most other points except that religion COULD be a force for good, and insofar as it is currently not, it is in need of new leadership. Sociopaths and psychopaths indeed seem to have a knack for infiltrating positions of power and there's no reason why religion should be immune to that.

Anyways, just thought I'd throw that out there. Not gonna get into details of what needs to change because that's likely very personal and sure to get contentious. Looking forward to your response on my other comments though.

It might, because it could be configuration issue.

Yeah but that sounds an awful lot like work.

I gotchu bro

Haha alright then

Yes Watson, that does indeed appear to be the case.

I'll take your word for it.
