...where?

Can you quote where he said he fed it internal code?

“ as a google swe I find bard almost useless. it doesnt understand any of our internal tooling or context.”

How would he know it doesn’t understand if he hasn’t used it?

He likely asked it a question.

*in violation of policy.

That wasn't said, but the goalpost keeps moving in this thread.
