Summary from the TLDR newsletter

The US Justice Department has proposed that Google unwind its partnership with AI startup Anthropic as part of a resolution for the landmark antitrust case over online search. Google may be barred from acquiring, investing in, or collaborating with any company that controls where consumers search for information. Google says that the remedy would chill the company's investment in artificial intelligence and jeopardize the US' global economic and technology leadership at a time when it's needed most. Anthropic's deal with Amazon is also under scrutiny.
