#israel - Tens of thousands of Israeli protesters demand hostage release deal: The Times and The Sunday Times
1 September 2024
Tens of thousands of Israelis protested in one of the largest demonstrations since war began nearly 11 months ago. In Jerusalem, thousands gathered outside Netanyahu’s office demanding that his government agree a ceasefire. In Tel Aviv, relatives of the hostages marched with coffins, chanting “Now! Now!” One of Israel’s most powerful trade unions called for a general strike to start Monday as anger grows about Binyamin Netanyahu’s handling of the hostage crisis after the bodies of six Israelis seized by Hamas were recovered from Gaza.

The head of the Histadrut union, which represents 800,000 workers, said the “entire Israeli economy” would “go on complete strike” from 6am to pressure the government into agreeing a deal to secure the release of the remaining hostages.

#A1 - How Google, Microsoft And Amazon Are Raiding AI Startups For Talent: CNBC
30 August 2024
Microsoft, Google and Amazon, along with other tech companies, have been getting creative in how they’re poaching talent from top artificial intelligence startups. Earlier this month, Google inked an unusual deal with Character.ai to hire away its prominent founder, Noam Shazeer, along with more than one-fifth of its workforce while also licensing its technology. It looked like an acquisition, but the deal was structured so that it wasn’t. Google wasn’t the first to take this approach.
In March, Microsoft signed a deal with Inflection that allowed Microsoft to use Inflection’s models and to hire most of the startup’s staff. Amazon followed in June with a faux acquisition of Adept where it hired top talent from the AI startup and licensed its technology.
It’s a playbook that skirts regulators and their crackdown on Big Tech dominance, provides an exit for AI startups struggling to make money, and allows megacaps to pick up the talent needed in the AI arms race. But while tech giants might think they’re outsmarting antitrust enforcers, they could be playing with fire. CNBC’s Deirdre Bosa has the story.
