Apr 1, 2012 at 19:30 comment added Georges Elencwajg Dear @Yves, your comments are quite interesting. Why not upgrade them to a leisurely answer, which will be easier to read than necessarily terse comments?
Apr 1, 2012 at 15:53 comment added YCor [of course I means $L_i=F_i$]. Note that the immediate implication in my comment is that if $K$ is infinitely generated then $K\otimes_F K$ is not noetherian (this is enough for Georges's example). For the converse, let $L\subset K$ be the field generated by a transcendence basis $x_1,\dots,x_d$, so $B=L\otimes_F L$ is a localization of $F[x_1,\dots,x_d,y_1,\dots,y_d]$ so is noetherian, and $K\otimes_F K$ is a finitely generated $B$-algebra so is noetherian as well. (By my previous remark, as a corollary every subfield of a f.g. field is f.g.)

Mar 31, 2012 at 13:16 comment added YCor Every proper inclusion of subfields $F\subset L_1\subset L_2\subset K$ gives rise to a non-injective surjective ring homomorphism $K\otimes_{F_1} K\to K\otimes_{F_2} K$. So, in Vamos' theorem, the "only if" directly follows, and the "if" condition is equivalent to the fact that every sub-extension of a finitely generated extension of $F$ is itself finitely generated. The latter fact is stated with no reference in Wiki's page on the 14th Hilbert problem en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hilbert's_fourteenth_problem
