MSFT/Activision is a clear and obvious problem to me(well, that combined with the fact that Microsoft also recently bought Bethesda), and it feels weird to hear people try to claim the contrary. MSFT has already been pressuring Bethesda , a company that for decades now has been "release on all platforms possible", to stop shipping to PS5.

I for one appreciate the expansive view of antitrust being taken in that case, though I have no real feelings about this OpenAI case.

I'm not claiming the contrary — I think MSFT/Activision is a much stronger case. I'm saying that if she lost that case (which she just did!) this one seems incredibly weak by comparison. "Unfair business practices" are... deploying LLMs at all? Okay.
