FYI, the post you replied to is entirely a quote from the article (even though formatting makes it appear that only the second paragraph is a quote). So the poster likely is not working on copilot.

Haha. Thank you. Well, I just hope Copilot starts caring about people’s concerns.

It’s kind of strange that no one from Copilot has said anything on HN. I wonder who has the authority to discuss it, if anyone. Usually bad PR is accompanied by “So-and-so from X here! We hear you…”

They’re probably going to have a much harder time launching this feature than they imply in the article. It’s hard even for database companies that specialize in full text search.

The original thread about Copilot contained a post from the dev at github. He only answered a couple of softball questions, though.
I think the this article is an indication that github is taking this seriously
It's an indication that they want the appearance of taking it seriously.

I think this episode will tell us definitely how much of GitHub is left, and how much Microsoft has infected their culture.

Yep! I don't work there.

I can't fix it since I can't edit my comment anymore. Next time I'll be more clear with any multi paragraph quotes!

QED, I guess. When you can't tell what's a quote and what's original, it's another manifestation of the same social problem.
