The boring answer is probably something along the lines of “copilot was trained by employees of OpenAI who aren’t technically MS employees”. When I worked at MS you had to jump through all sorts of hoops to get access to code from other orgs. I can’t imagine what BS you’d need to do to give access to a vendor.

Sure, companies need to protect their private IP, but this really feels like creating unnecessary friction for no good reason...

- ratww 4y ago> creating unnecessary friction for no good reason That's definitely something that most large corporations do.
- popinman322 4y agoAt least a year ago in Azure that wasn't true; everyone had access to nearly every internal service's code (+the windows kernel). Though there were some exceptions (the Teams team didn't want to share their source at all for whatever reason).

- gpderetta 4y agoThat would require purpose. I suspect Teams is entirely generated by copilot. There is no other explanation.
