> my guess is that Copilot stored a lot of GitHub accounts, and when we type "@", it autocompletes with any random ones from that list.

That’s not how that works and an mis-feature. No one would want a real username from a random list and there’s no reason to think it has a list of usernames somewhere. It for sure generates usernames in real-time the way you would if I told you to imagine a plausible one.

Seriously. It seems there are people out there who somehow think that the Evil Micro$oft made GitHub start publishing a list of all handles just in case it … picks yours?? Would that be useful?
