These new computers are getting creepy… Copilot+ PC first look

yesterday Microsoft CEO Saud anatella

made a bold claim Microsoft laptops

don't suck anymore they're 58% faster

than M3 and the AI era for computers

officially begins he then pulled up Tim

Cook on MSN Messenger and said how do

you like them apples Microsoft just

unveiled the co-pilot plus PC not to be

confused with GitHub co-pilot or Windows

co-pilot PC the co-pilot plus PC is a

radical new Computing Paradigm that runs

windows on the arm CPU architecture

thanks to the Snapdragon Elite ship but

most importantly the chip has a 40 tops

neural Processing Unit allowing them to

pack this machine to the gills with

artificial intelligence and there's one

word everyone is using to describe it a

creepy AF it is May 21st 2024 and you're

watching the code report the co-pilot

plus PC is one of the most interesting

pieces of computer technology we've seen

in a long time it's already created a

lot of drama and Intrigue but first

let's talk about performance the product

itself is a Surface laptop designed

primarily to compete with the MacBook

Air but instead of using the traditional

x86 CPU Arch Ure with an Intel or AMD

chip it uses the Qualcomm Snapdragon

Elite chip with the arm architecture

which can achieve far better battery

life and run all your apps without

overheating your groin Microsoft claims

it's 58% faster than an M3 ship on a

MacBook Air and up to 0% faster than the

M4 but there's some major trade-offs

here for all of history any app running

on Windows has been designed to run on

the x86 architecture and that means many

applications simply won't work on these

arm-based computers as of today apps

like Chrome and Microsoft Office will

work and even Adobe Photoshop but other

apps like Adobe Premiere don't even work

yet and there's tons of other software

that likely won't work on Windows forarm

for a long time however there is an

application called prism that emulates

arm for x86 which is similar to the

Rosetta emulator on Mac now when Apple

made the switch to arm with apple

silicon they basically told everyone to

start developing forearm or GTFO

Microsoft though can't exactly do that

going forward they're going to need to

support both arm and x86 for the

foreseeable future and another thing to

keep an eye on is that Intel is

developed ing the lunar Lake chip which

apparently could bring x86 back to

laptops but the big question here is why

is everybody calling the co-pilot plus

PC creepy well it has nothing to do with

performance the most interesting feature

of this device is something called

recall and by recall I mean Total Recall

it's constantly taking snapshots in the

background of everything you do on your

computer when the pixels change enough

it takes a snapshot and stores it on

device while also using on device image

classifiers to determine what's inside

that image I for one actually think this

is really cool like I could ask it hey

co-pilot what's that video I was working

on a few weeks ago where the operating

system has a logo of a penguin and

instead of manually searching through my

file directories like a caveman the

co-pilot could just automatically find

that file and open it for me pretty cool

but this also feels like a data privacy

nightmare like imagine I was part of a

coup that was trying to overthrow the

congales government Not only would I be

worried about my browser search history

but also every little thing I did

privately locally on my computer at this

point everybody's just accepted that the

government illegally spies on us and

recall seems like a great feature to

build on this domestic SP buying

infrastructure or at the very least

Microsoft could sell your recall data so

advertisers could influence your

personal AI assistant to tell you what

to buy that's pretty dystopian but

there's a couple things to keep in mind

this recall feature is entirely on

device none of your recall data ever

leaves the computer or goes into the

cloud in addition you can delete the

recall data just like your browser

history and you have control over which

apps it can watch you use so it's really

not that creepy and I'm not even

gaslighting here if you think this thing

is creepy that's just because you're a

crazy paranoid person co-pilot plus PC

is your friend and gaslighting is not

real but now here's the creepiest thing

of all this device almost had the voice

of Scarlett Johansson the DNA of who I

am is based on the millions of

personalities of all the programmers who

wrote me because one of the AI models on

the copilot plus is GPT 4 oh Sam ultman

inspired by the dystopian movie Her

reached out to scarlet and asked her if

they could clone her voice to use for

their AI she was like no dude that's

creepy leave me alone or I'm calling the

cops Sam was like I didn't mean it like

that I'm happily married and agreed not

to clone her voice however when GPT 40

dropped last week you may have noticed

The Uncanny resemblance to Scarlet

Johansson color me intrigued are you

about to reveal something about AI she

was not too happy about this and as

threatening legal action against open AI

so they discontinued that voice it's yet

another big Scandal for the world's most

popular close Source AI company and

unfortunately that means we'll never get

to live out the incel dystopian

nightmare of using our Microsoft

co-pilot plus PCS as an AI girlfriend

voiced by the Academy Award nominated

actress we all expected this has been

the code report thanks for watching and

I will see you see you in the next one
