No startup is as big as Google Search. They're far from being hindered by this EU investigation.

- Spivak 10mo agoIt's not really about Google, I think the reason that HN in general is.. annoyed at the actions of the EU is because they're worried these rulings will be far reaching. This one in particular: fetching content from a website and feeding it to an AI to extract information or summarize it requires that the person doing it "compensate" the website operator. Well there goes one of the most useful tools in the AI toolbox being able to search the web for external information. It also codifies that accessing a webpage is a weird kind of transaction which also might put ad blockers in a weird legal grey area. I don't want my Kagi quick answers, Summarize page, or Ask questions about page buttons to be turned off, I find them extremely useful.
