Thanks for coming back to Week in Review. This week, we’ll talk about how the DOJ told Google to sell off Chrome to break up its monopoly, how OpenAI deleted possible evidence in The New York Times’ copyright case against it by accident, and how AI companies are using TikTok brainrot as study tools. Let’s do this.
The U.S. Department of Justice said Google should sell its Chrome browser to help break up its illegal search market monopoly. In August, District Court judge Amit Mehta said that Google was an illegal monopoly because it abused its power in the search business. The DOJ’s most recent filing says that the fact that Google owns both Android and Chrome makes it “significantly challenging” to put in place remedies that will make the search market more competitive.
Anthropic was able to get an extra $4 billion from Amazon and has decided to train its most important generative AI models mainly on Amazon Web Services. Anthropic is also working with AWS’s chipmaking business, Annapurna Labs, to make new versions of Trainium accelerators, which are custom chips that AWS makes for training AI models. With the new money from Amazon, the tech giant has now invested a total of $8 billion in Anthropic.

But in a letter, the publishers’ lawyers say that OpenAI engineers deleted all of their search data that was saved on one of the virtual machines.
