| Not on Intel Macs

| for it). And won't let me go back to the app and press the
| login with email button. They really don't care about the

| This explains the Multi acquisition.

| Cynically, a nonzero number of people will probably download and

| server now. But for many this will be super handy

| This landing page is a bit barebones for my taste though. I
| would've loved to know about what data gets locally processed,
| privacy assurance, and what gets sent to OpenAI. A lot of bad
| things can be implied from the two three sentences like: "Chat
| about email, screenshots, files, and anything on your screen."

| Can and should.

| You could just wait for the next macos for this exact
| functionality but you get to control what openAI sees.

| Too late. The market is already moving towards a chat GUI that

| Which one are you talking about?
| brailsafe wrote:
| What market would that be? Consumer use of a mildly helpful

| of what a model is or what ChatGPT does, and aren't swapping
| APIs or whatever. Even among technical people I'd wager it's
| only a tiny minority of people who are doing anything like
| that.

| Sonoma-only, unfortunately.

| So what is new now? I remember this was available right after the
| ChatGPT4o livestream and I downloaded it then.
