Quick Glance: Google terminates 28 employees after office occupation due to anti-Israel protests
  • Google terminated 28 employees on Thursday who had occupied its offices to protest against contracts with the Israeli government, as confirmed by a Google spokesperson.

  • The protesters were arrested and after refusing to leave the office of Google Cloud CEO Thomas Kurian in Sunnyvale or the workspace in New York City for nearly 10 hours, they were transferred to administrative positions to urge Google to terminate the Project Nimbus contract and cease business with the Israeli government.

  • No Tech For Apartheid, a project by Jewish Voice for Peace and Linda Sarsour’s MPower Change, described the terminations as an "indiscriminate act of mass retaliation."

  • The office occupations at Google were accompanied by demonstrations on-site and in Seattle, aiming to compel Google to withdraw from the project to establish cloud-based data centers and transition a significant portion of the Israeli government's IT infrastructure to cloud-based servers.

Bloomberg Evening Briefing: Wall Street Wants AI Firms to Start Going ...
Quick Glance: Wall Street Urges AI Companies to Go Public
  • Since the release of ChatGPT in 2022, numerous artificial intelligence startups have started developing generative AI services for consumers and businesses, raising billions of dollars from venture capital firms and big tech companies in the process. There is now a growing demand on Wall Street for these companies to go public, with some of them reportedly considering it. According to Michael Harris, the global head of capital markets at NYSE, most pure-play AI-focused companies are still primarily financing themselves in the private markets, but there are a few that are at least exploring the process.

  • Jamie Dimon, like many before him, compared the transformative impact of AI to the steam engine. The metaphor has not only become a cliché, as Parmy Olson writes in Bloomberg Opinion, but also paints a simplified and overly optimistic picture of how this technology will reshape society. She suggests that the effects of perfecting steam power are insignificant compared to the changes that the next technological development will bring.

  • For an apt comparison, there's a very different revolution to look at.
