I agree that it will super useful and can't wait for the OSS version of it on Linux that respects my privacy but only kinda does the same thing with a less useful LLM at its core.

That said, I wonder if general folks will see the toggling of this is the same way they initially did for incognito mode? Namely, that you would only use it to watch porn or do something nefarious. The classic "If you don't have anything to hide, why hide?" History has obviously proven that first impression as a rather reductive and silly one. Plus cultural norms/opinions around incognito mode are very neutral now.

Or if this will be like turning a bodycam off for cops? Imagine the distopia of a boss asking why you turned recall off for 30 minutes while you were on your lunchbreak...

I guess it is good that we have pocket supercomputers.
