☆ Israel’s Netanyahu Says He is Committed to Compromise on Judicial Overhaul as Knesset Reconvenes
  + stars: | 2023-04-30 | by ( Dov Lieber | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: +1 min
From blocking highways to dressing up as handmaids, hundreds of thousands of Israelis have protested for three months against a judicial overhaul planned by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government. Photo Composite: Emily SiuTEL AVIV—Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Sunday that he is committed to reaching a compromise over a proposed judicial overhaul that has sharply divided the country, even as he comes under increasing pressure from elements within his own government to advance the legislation. Mr. Netanyahu agreed at the end of March to delay a vote on a key piece of the legislation and engage in negotiations with the opposition until after Israel’s Parliament, or Knesset, reconvened after Jewish and national holidays. The bill would have been the first piece of a broader effort to weaken the power of the Supreme Court and give greater control to elected lawmakers. The Knesset reconvenes Sunday, adding urgency to the talks with the opposition as the coalition can now advance pieces of the overhaul for the first time since negotiations began.
☆ How Ron DeSantis Could Unlock $86 Million for a Presidential Run
  + stars: | 2023-04-29 | by ( Julie Bykowicz | Alex Leary | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
After a year of trying to outmaneuver each other, Walt Disney is suing Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. WSJ’s Arian Campo-Flores explains what is behind the lawsuit. Ron DeSantis is poised to jump into the Republican presidential primary in the coming months with an $86 million pot of donor money—and a legally questionable strategy for using it. The cash, currently sitting in a Florida political committee fund, would need to take a circuitous path to help him: It is illegal to use money raised for a state election to run for federal office, meaning Mr. DeSantis can’t simply transfer it into a presidential campaign account.

Microsoft is combining the tech behind OpenAI’s ChatGPT with its Bing search engine. In an interview, WSJ’s Joanna Stern spoke with Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella about the new tools and how AI is going to change search. Photo illustration: Preston Jessee for The Wall Street JournalItaly’s privacy regulator rescinded its temporary ban on ChatGPT after the chatbot’s developer, OpenAI, implemented changes demanded by the regulator, the latest twist in the complex regulatory response to new artificial-intelligence technology. Italy’s ban was one of the first nationwide measures restricting the use of ChatGPT since it exploded globally in popularity in recent months. The Italian Data Protection Authority ordered the ban late last month, saying that OpenAI had “no legal basis” for using the data it had amassed about Italian residents to train its algorithms and that it was too easy for children to access.

Intel hitting rock bottom isn’t a pretty sight, but it is still a welcome one. The chip maker’s first-quarter results late Thursday took the “better than feared” concept to a new level. In another first, Intel actually lost money in its data-center segment—a business that generated operating margins of 50% in the same quarter just three years prior.
