Microsoft builds on Recall with Gaming Copilot — fails basic privacy tests (doublepulsar.com)

The software is labelled Beta, but is being pushed out to existing PCs anyway because.. well.. why not beta something in prod, it’s 2025 after all.

It appears in Game Bar, which is accessible from Windows Key + G. You may not have it yet as they are staging deployment. I’m not in Windows Insiders, but I have it installed — so it looks like the roll out is becoming wide. Note that I had uninstalled Copilot from my PC… but Gaming Copilot silently installed anyway.

It is similar to Recall, except not all the processing is done locally — it relies on the cloud. It screenshots gameplay, and then extracts elements of the screen (such as symbols and text) to work out what the player is doing. The idea is it can help you game, e.g. you can ask questions about what you’re doing in the game at a given moment.

Stolen from https://www.eurogamer.net/skyrim-golden-claw-door-puzzle-solution-bleak-falls-barrow :

Gemma 3 27b:

AI generated contentUser: Can you solve this puzzle for me?

Gemma 3 27b: Okay, this is the "Blessing of Akatosh" puzzle from The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim in the Temple of Kynareth.

Here's the solution:

You need to activate the stones in the order representing the stages of a dragon's life cycle. From left to right, these represent:

 Egg:  The stone with the coiled serpent (looks like a dragon egg)
 Hatchling: The stone with the dragon head emerging from a spiral.
 Dragon: The stone with the full, flying dragon.

So, the order you need to press the stones is: Left, Middle, Right.

Activating them in this order will open the pathway to the Blessing of Akatosh. Good luck! Let me know if you get stuck elsewhere.

Correct game, wrong puzzle. Did detect that it is a puzzle though.

ChatGPT:

ChatGPT: This image shows the pillar puzzle from Bleak Falls Barrow in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.

The correct order of symbols for this puzzle is:

Snake – Snake – Fish (Whale).

Explanation: If you look around the room before the lever, you’ll see a broken pillar lying on the ground above the gate. It shows the solution pattern in that exact order. Set the three rotating pillars to match:

Left pillar → Snake

Middle pillar → Snake

Right pillar → Fish (Whale)

Then pull the lever — the gate will open.

According to the Eurogamer article, that is correct.

Thanks! And yeah, if it can't even handle stuff like this properly I don't think Microsoft will have any luck getting people to use it.
