Microsoft and OpenAI end their exclusive and revenue-sharing deal

Exactly. There is no scenario where we should expect some random anon to be speaking for Google. When that is the case a disclaimer is warranted, not the common case of speaking for oneself. He can write it once in his profile if he's so worried about it, not every other comment like he does. It's just inflated self importance

You seem smart and knowledgeable. Maybe you should reach the lawyers at these companies and then they can change the policy!

No I think it's made up, there is no policy, and the lawyers couldn't care less, it's just something people do to massage their own ego.

Nope. I previously worked at a very big tech company (not Google) and they definitely had guidance like that in the social media policy.

It is absolutely not made up, and yes, some companies absolutely do care.

I can tell you firsthand, it's not made up. Wait, did I just brag in your opinion?
