That’s the reality of being employed, really. No matter the accomplishment, I doubt they would have been able to create copilot outside Microsoft and thus without Microsoft’s resources (computing infrastructure, engineering talent and software ecosystem). And the “join a startup” is a dumb piece of advice as you’d be still making some one else profit. Create your own company, and face the likelihood of bankruptcy.
