I wonder what the fall out will be if any?
You'd have to ask 'why are they implementing this'
And the logical answer might be that initial CWV didn't do the job, hence why there was no truly discernible negative impact from not meeting them.
So they have a new measurement that might now be trustworthy enough that they can take action.
All likely to be part of a wider plan, ofc, as is everything happening right now. It's not a far stretch to see that speed can logically tie in with the changes coming up.
Chat GPT goes (recent) internet aware very soon, Bard probably already is. The game will be to get the most accurate, up-to-date answers to queries in the fastest way possible. There are many elements involved in achieving that overall. Webpage speed will be one of them.
This release is set for 2024. By that time we would be very deep into AI I would assume, seeing how fast things are moving at the moment

But is the ranking based on how fast different devices load? if you have an influx of traffic from some 3rd world country with low internet speeds will your page by judged on average load time by real values?
I think nothing will changeLinks will still decide. It seems to me that Google itself does not understand what it does
