Have you ever worked at an org that size? Because many devs completely fail to even consider legal, let alone actually reach out to them before they implement something.
- yunohn 5y agoI currently do and have before actually, so I'm unsure if you have? Devs can ignore legal for a very short time, but the moment you have a team working on it, you need legal approval to continue. And if there's going to be a public launch, you have an entire legal, data, and privacy team to vet it first. Put simply, there is no universe wherein MS's legal team hasn't cleared Copilot before launch, and I'm disappointed HN groupthink believes otherwise.
- pmlnr 5y agoI do work at a reasonably large one, yes. Less, then a month ago a new thing was announced, and among the comments, someone asked if legal was involved. The answer was: oh, right, we'll ask them.
- yunohn 5y agoAgain, I’m not saying all large companies have that, clearly yours doesn’t. I’m saying FAANG+MS definitely have this process, you can ask any employee how it works there.
- klelatti 5y agoThis was announced by their CEO on their corporate blog. There is 0% chance that this wasn't run past their legal team.
- addandsubtract 5y agoIf it came from the CEO, it actually might have run _past_ legal.
