It was only eight months ago that Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella was triumphantly crowing about how his partnership with OpenAI had endowed him with the power to make Google “dance.” In a Washington, D.C., courtroom today, however, Nadella sounded like someone so enfeebled and despondent that he could barely operate his own laptop without escaping Google’s yoke.
“You get up in the morning, you brush your teeth, and you search on Google,” Nadella, the boss of $2.4 trillion Microsoft, testified in the antitrust trial about Google’s search monopoly, according to the Wall Street Journal.
