You're going to have to give some specific reason why though.

Why this would have anything to do with antitrust is not at all obvious to me. Especially when Google has been inventing and acquiring its own generative AI technology that it is competing with.

The OAI stake/deal is already under regulatory review and generally EU is perceived as blocking most large tech mergers since the iRobot intervention.

I suspect we are going to soon see political backlash against regulation in the EU as it is becoming very clear that this is causal to their bad capital markets.

What human right do I have to Amazon not owning a vacuum company?

[nicce]

Nothing. But you probably don't see one located in Europe, because they would need to allow strikes, there is good level of minimum wage protection in general and strong privacy laws. It is harder to stalk the toilet breaks for employees.

Median wages in the US are considerably higher than in Europe. Amazon wanted to buy iRobot but was blocked by regulators.

OAI merger?

Tight integration of AI into the OS and Office.

What if users want to user other AI services?

It's Internet Explorer and Media Player all over again.
