Is it because he's only testing the tool on the same machine that it was built on?

Serious question - Is it really true that Windows 11 will run an untrusted .exe without a warning?

I live just outside of Minneapolis, and have a bunch of friends who live in the city. I have never heard anyone express concern about what ICE is doing. The biggest worries are around commute disruptions due to protesters. It might be because this is a self-selected circle of white collar types, but I can say the report in this story is not universal.

There is of course Apple's SpeechTranscriber (which is likely faster and more power-efficient than Whisper), and also the permissiveContentTransformations guardrail which is specifically designed for your use case.

That puts Apple Silicon at a disadvantage without the feature that we’re talking about. Presumably the upcoming M5 will also have dedicated matmul acceleration in the GPU. This could potentially change everything in favor of local AI, particularly on mobile devices like laptops.
