Microsoft is about to let Copilot loose on your file system
But don't worry, it's totally safe because the agents and models will (probably) be running locally. Routers never break right?
What the coverage shows
Both outlets cover Microsoft’s plan to give Copilot deeper access to Windows and local files, with The Verge presenting it as a broader “Hybrid Intelligence” upgrade and The Register framing it as Copilot being “let loose” on the file system. The Verge is the only outlet here to spell out OS-wide actions and the local-file access in detail, while The Register is the only one to add a skeptical aside about safety and local execution.
