gotta wonder, if google no longer feeds traffic to websites, what's in it for websites to give google's bots any special access or treatment anymore and not just treat them as any other AI scraper

@joe be careful, that's 15% of *****'s worldwide net revenue you're talking about
@joe every single legal item i found on the google case was incredibly compelling and full of fun facts like that
@joe the judge spent ~5/8th of the final one talking about LLMs and microsoft. and spent half a page on chrome. quoted gorsuch mentioning Aspen Skiing as the key to understanding antitrust like it's not excessively obvious that the ski resort is physically limited from wielding monopolistic agendas like google can
@joe also, google immediately shut down the tooling org at twitter right after scaladays 2019 where we did literally everything they claimed to do and will never do. very senior (not too senior) twitter management disappeared for 3 months and no one could tell me why
