The DOJ brought an antitrust case against Google… and won.

Then the judge pretty much decided “no consequences”.

It was the lamest excuse ever.

Something like, "I'm worried about impairing Google's ability to compete in AI" or some nonsense. (Paraphrasing here.)

Looks like all it takes to compete in AI is to issue stock or get a bunch of investors. I don't see how Google would struggle with that. It's completely orthogonal to antitrust enforcement.
