Key Points

  • OpenAI interested in purchase if Google forced to sell Chrome
  • Judge previously found Google used exclusive agreements to bolster search monopoly
  • Trial deals with proposed remedies to restore competition
  • Antitrust enforcers concerned Google's dominance could extend to AI

OpenAI would be interested in buying Google's Chrome if antitrust enforcers are successful in forcing the Alphabe unit to sell the popular web browser as part of a bid to restore competition in search, an OpenAI executive testified on Tuesday at Google's antitrust trial in Washington.

ChatGPT head of product Nick Turley made the statement while testifying at trial in Washington where U.S. Department of Justice seeks to require Google to undertake far-reaching measures restore competition in online search.

I thought there was no way in hell I would ever find myself rooting for Google to keep Chrome, but life found a way.

To be fair, there are multiple companies that would make chrome worse, e.g. Oracle

True enough, but OpenAI (or really any "AI" company) is at the top of that list with Facebook right below it.

I think that could be a great thin actually. Catapult chrome into the dirt and from the destruction may sprout many new browser projects

With who's money? Microsoft? Wouldn't that be a fucking worse monopoly?

Jesus fuck, how to make things worse...

I love how every time I think this timeline won't get worse, it does.

Looks like I picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue.
