#GoogleDominance: "Then there’s its deal with Apple, which is virtually identical to what #JudgeMehta found to be the original #Apple-#Google arrangement enabling the illegal #monopolization of the #searchmarket.

Mehta’s failure to impose a remedy was permission for Google to repeat this scheme with generative AI. And now it has. This deal will ensure that Google’s artificial intelligence chatbot product will become dominant in the most important mobile ecosystem in the world. And its experience structuring #adtech markets suggest that if it mediates the entire economy, many tradition businesses will wind up like newspapers, eliminated as Google appropriates profit margins for itself and destroys the ability of consumers to differentiate products based on quality, #innovation or other values. It could be an extinction level event for many commercial areas, like the death of the #openweb, and a dramatic narrowing of consumer choice."

Will Google Become Our AI-Powered Central Planner?

Google may monopolize the market for AI consumer services. And now it is now rolling out a service to help businesses set prices, based on what it knows about us. The failure of antitrust was costly.

like. good for anyone who does that basic popsy selfhelp thing, but like.

pretty sure it's the crazy rampant #wagetheft and violent minerals extraction campeigns, and #monopolization, and being born on the pile of money, andweapons contracts lolol. that's accpunting for the success.

also getting a uniform outfit is not super doable on thrift. No one gets rid of a comfortable solid neutral tanktop.

I missed this great news earlier this week. Monopolies are bad and now groceries won’t be further consolidated.

Sigh of relief.

Judges halt merger of supermarket giants Kroger and Albertsons

The proposed $24.6 billion merger between supermarket giants Kroger and Albertsons floundered on Tuesday after judges overseeing two separate cases both halted the deal. A federal judge in Oregon temporarily blocked the proposed merger until an in-house administrative judge at the Federal Trade Commission considers it. Shortly afterward, a judge in Washington state issued a permanent injunction barring the merger in that state, saying it lessens competition. Kroger and Albertsons in 2022 proposed what would be the largest grocery store merger in U.S. history. But the Federal Trade Commission and the state of Washington sued earlier this year. Kroger and Albertsons said Tuesday they are disappointed in the decisions and are reviewing their options.
