It's the opening, as the government and Google duel on the law and the facts. There are two witness. DOJ and Google engage on divestiture, and Google’s behavioral remedy proposals start to dissolve.

The use of AI models to mimic human respondents betrays the public, and provides inaccurate answers to key questions

Fights over power are bitter because the right has an ancient vision of liberty, and the left has not joined the debate. Plus a new Google trial, a bailout of Argentina and a big change in H-1b visas.

Elites disproportionately influence policymaking, yet little is known about their fairness and efficiency preferences -- key determinants of support for redistributive policies. We investigate these preferences in an incentivized lab experiment with a group of future elites -- Ivy League MBA students. We find that MBA students implement substantially more unequal earnings distributions than the average American, regardless of whether inequality stems from luck or merit. Their redistributive choices are also highly responsive to efficiency costs, with an effect that is an order of magnitude larger than that found in representative U.S. samples. Analyzing fairness ideals, we find that MBA students are less likely to be strict meritocrats than the broader population. These findings provide novel insights into how elites' redistributive preferences may shape high levels of inequality in the U.S.
