Microsoft has unveiled a new category of Windows PCs called Copilot+ at a special event held at their campus in Redmond, Washington. These PCs are designed to handle more AI tasks locally, thanks to powerful hardware that includes dedicated neural processing units (NPUs) capable of at least 45 trillion operations per second (TOPS).
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella introduced the Copilot+ PCs, calling them "the fastest, most intelligent Windows PCs ever built." The company has partnered with major PC manufacturers like Dell, HP, Lenovo, Acer, ASUS, and Samsung, as well as chipmakers Qualcomm, Intel, and AMD to bring these devices to market.
The first wave of Copilot+ PCs will be powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon X series chips and are launching on June 18, with prices starting at $999 (around 80,000). The firsts come from the house of Microsoft - Surface Laptop and Surface Pro -- both available in the choices of Snapdragon X Elite and Snapdragon X Pro.

no thanks!
i don’t neeed any damnable AIbot fussing back at me when I encounter a human-machiine interface problem!
No thanks. God is my copilot.
More efficient spying on you.
CoPilot? More like Nanny! It won’t even give you George Carlin’s “Seven Words”, but will tell you not to ask for such an evil, despicable, thing.
Absolutely nothing can go wrong.
Finally found the reg tweak that turned it off.. absolute nuisance. Now to shut down Edge updates.
Considering that MS stated these will also have “Recall”, which is enabled by taking frequent “snapshots” of what you’re doing at a particular point in time. These are processed via AI locally, and will be stored who knows where, and for how long, who knows.
No, I don’t feel I need my PC to waste cycles on background AI functions unless I specifically request that capability and only I can enable it and only I can specify the parameters of what it is allowed to do.
I can see this will mean I won’t be buying any Microsoft Operating Systems going forward. Eff them.
Noam Chomsky on Artificial Intelligence: “The human mind is not, like ChatGPT and its ilk, a lumbering statistical engine for pattern matching, gorging on hundreds of terabytes of data and extrapolating the most likely conversational response or most probable answer to a scientific question. On the contrary, the human mind is a surprisingly efficient and even elegant system that operates with small amounts of information; it seeks not to infer brute correlations among data points but to create explanations . . .”
“. . . Let’s stop calling it ‘Artificial Intelligence’ then and call it for what it is and makes ‘plagiarism software’ because ‘It doesn’t create anything, but copies existing works, of existing artists, modifying them enough to escape copyright laws. . . .’”

Please share.
Regedits to disable CoPilot will materially harm your social credit score and subsequently impact your market privileges and transportation options. Consider yourself forewarned.
Why I'm still running XP-Pro for everything I can. It's getting harder. Some web sites I absolutely have to use won't run on it anymore, so I have a separate machine that runs Win10 w/Brave, that gets used once or twice a week.
Hell, even Wikipedia will give you those.
Creepy!
Total spying of what you do on your computer.
Microsoft pinky swears that no one but you will have access to the recordings.
And duplication becomes undetectable from the real life “image”. And thus the counterfeit cannot be detected, and thus the Mark.
One of the touted “features” of copilot is that “you can search a meeting transcript for specific information mentioned in the meeting”.
Of course to have a transcript you have to actually record the meeting, and then let them store it.
I have complete confidence that those recordings will be securely stored and no one would **ever** be able to access the records, leak, sell, or turn them over to the government or other bad actors.
Because I trust Microsoft!
🙄
That right there is what it's all about...
Microsoft’s Copilot HAL.
