Neil Vogel, the CEO of People (PPLI), has accused Google (GOOGL) of leveraging its market power by using the same web crawler infrastructure for both traditional search indexing and AI products, arguing that publishers have limited ability to opt out of AI usage without affecting search visibility, Christine Wang of Axios reports. "We can't actually block Google, because Google uses the same crawler for search as they do for AI, which is like an incredible abuse of market power," Vogel said, adding that "We would love to do something productive with them, but we're probably heading towards more confrontation than productivity with those guys."

Las Vegas Sands Focuses on Asian Markets for Growth
- Clear Market Positioning: Las Vegas Sands is focusing on expanding its operations in Macao and Singapore, leveraging limited competition and rising wealth in these regions, which is expected to drive strong future growth, especially against the backdrop of fierce competition in the U.S. market.
- Strong Performance in Singapore: Marina Bay Sands in Singapore reported a 30% year-on-year increase in adjusted EBITDA to $788 million in Q1, reflecting the strong demand from high-net-worth clients for luxury experiences, further solidifying Sands' leadership position in the Asian market.
- Potential in Texas: Although Las Vegas Sands withdrew its casino plan in Texas in 2025, the company remains open to establishing a casino near Dallas if regulations change, capitalizing on emerging market opportunities to enhance its U.S. operations.
- Macao Market Share: With a 75% stake in Sands China Ltd., Las Vegas Sands holds about 25% of the market share in Macao, and despite facing government crackdowns on high-end clients, the company is working to attract premium mass-market customers to reduce earnings volatility.
