Something happend this week that concerned me, and it has major ramifications on the future of AI.

“The rule of law is on tenuous grounds in America these days, with even easy stuff that might hinder the powerful running into serious obstacles.” – Matt Stoller

Federal District Judge Amit Mehta ruled on September 2nd, 2025 that Google can keep its Chrome browser but will be barred from exclusive contracts. This means all those pesky AI agents controlling browsers is full-on. This ruling will literally reshape BigAI as an extension of BigTech as more or less untouchable.

I am a little concerned or upset or maybe a tad outraged about what a healthy competitive market would look like vs. the monopoly power variety, pretty much since the early 2000s. Tuesday, September 2nd’s ruling will have repercussions for years to come with AI power.
