Google's CEO, Sundar Pichai, has announced the company's ambitious 2024 goals amidst ongoing layoffs and legal challenges related to its anticompetitive behavior. The company is cutting jobs at its X moonshot lab and seeking outside investors to fund its projects, citing 'durable cost savings' as a goal. Layoffs have also affected its secret research lab, MoonshotX. Additionally, Alphabet has severed ties with Appen, a firm that assisted in training Google's chatbot Bard and Search, amid financial struggles and client departures.

The slow drip of layoffs at $GOOGL continues - this time, cutting at its moonshot factory X. It comes after years of pressure form Wall Street and heavy financial losses. And at a time when Google's cash cow - it's core ad business - is showing cracks. @dee_bosa reports https://t.co/vnRGBO3ex4
