Microsoft now has implemented "compare with Bing chat" button when you visit Google Bard in Edge
(reddthat.com)
When you visit the Google's chatbot bard's website in Microsoft Bing. A New Button pops up besides the search bar which lets you compare bard results with Bing chat's. I have no idea why they implemented this, well maybe to show off the their chatbot is better than bard or something?
Alphabet, Microsoft, Meta. Pretty much all the big tech companies really need a visit from the FTC.
Honestly the FTC should be handing out antitrust suits like candy. Late stage capitalism has created a bit of a target rich environment, if only the FTC could take advantage.
Courts have been blocking them consistently. They've been a touch more aggressive, but Congress needs to pass more aggressive laws. Many of these companies are vertically integrated, not horizontally - and the laws aren't really equipped to deal with that.
Why not Apple, the closest company to having a monopoly on software running on smart phones in the USA.
Apple and Google have both done similar things. Osx will ask you to use safari if you install a different browser. Google shows "it's better in chrome!" on basically all of their properties if you're using non chromium based browsers. No one seems to really give a shit.
Apple is marginally worse IMO due to not allowing any third-party app stores on their mobile platforms, plus they have a dominant market share in the USA. At least Google theoretically allows third-party app stores to be used, even if they're continually pushing a Google-ified OS on Android users vs. AOSP.
How is Meta acting anti competitive? I am not defending them, just actually curious. For Microsoft, Alphabet and Apple it makes sense because they control the platforms.
