Turley, a witness for the government, testified earlier in the day that Google shot down a bid by OpenAI to use its search technology within ChatGPT. OpenAI had reached out to Google after experiencing issues with its own search provider, Turley said, without naming the provider. ChatGPT uses technology from Microsoft's search engine, Bing.
"We believe having multiple partners, and in particular Google's API, would enable us to provide a better product to users," OpenAI told Google, according to an email shown at trial.
OpenAI first reached out in July, and Google declined the request in August, saying it would involve too many competitors, according to the email.
"We have no partnership with Google today," Turley said.
The DOJ's proposal to make Google share search data with competitors as one means of restoring competition would help accelerate efforts to improve ChatGPT, Turley said.
Would OpenAI have the culture to maintain Blink well? They feel like they prefer closing down their ecosystem.
More than Chrome, I think the future of Blink as it pertains to Edge etc will be most interesting. Though I suppose Edge could migrate to WebKit if necessary or if they didn’t want to maintain/fork Blink themselves.
History would repeat itself and we'll be just switching the web from one behemoth (Microsoft IE) to another (Google Chrome) and yet another (OpenAI) [0].
I said in a different thread that if Google was forced to sell Chrome, Elon Musk would buy it to force xAI on everyone. I was in the ballpark apparently as OpenAI is the AI company that would buy it to force ChatGPT on everyone.
Do they really mean "Chrome" or do they mean "Chromium"? Because the latter is a really important and influential codebase, and the former is a proprietary, branded "distro" of that codebase.
So it would be weird if Google sold off Chrome, which specifically belongs to Google, and the main thing that makes Chrome Chrome is that it is Google's Chrome on top of the open-source Chromium codebase.
And if Google "owns" Chromium enough to "sell it off" then that new owner will enjoy leverage over even Microsoft themselves, as Edge is also Chromium-based. Not to mention, the Opera browser and many, many mainstream Linux distributions use Chromium directly, so ... that's kind of a big deal!
Why is an OpenAI exec testifying at a Google trial? Did I miss something?

OpenAI competes with Google, so obviously the government invited them to testify about how Google is a big bully that has no competition.
maybe one line of defense is that Chrome is good for society, but no one wants to buy and support it..

Anyone but OpenAI.

Would be the worst outcome.

It's funny that you phrase that in future tense, and mutually exclusive.
