perplexity, the AI startup, has just offered over $30 billion to buy Google Chrome.

Now, this is an absolutely insane offer for many different reasons.

They made a bunch of concessions and said that they'll follow a bunch of basically guidelines

if they were to go through with this purchase.

Where did this come from?

Is Google selling Google Chrome?

Why is this offer happening? Is this realistic? We're going to get into all of that on the podcast

today. And I think this is really interesting because this is not the first time that Perplexia has

Before we get into all of that, I wanted to mention if you've ever wanted to try all of the different AI models that I talk about on the podcast, I'd love for you to check out my own platform, which is called AIbox.AI.

about what's going on with perplexity. So this is definitely a huge move. They offered $34.5 billion in cash. This was an unsolicited

offered, to be fair. So Google didn't say, hey, who wants to buy us? Basically, they just said,

hey, we're going to acquire you if you want. What's happened recently is that Google has gotten

himself into a bit of an antitrust

issue and a judge ruled that Google Chrome and some of the behavior that they had around Google

Chrome was anti-competitive. And a lot of people are speculating that they're going to be forced

to spin this out of Google. Now, the judge hasn't actually ruled that this is the, you know, the verdict

and what they actually have to do, but this is just a lot of speculation. And so at this time,
