Google Set to Scrap Minimum Wage Stock Drop 1%Alphabet Inc.'s Google ( NASDAQ:GOOG ) has announced its decision to reverse the policy requiring its US-based suppliers and staffing firms to provide their employees with at least $15 per hour as well as health insurance and other benefits. The move allows the tech giant to avoid bargaining with unions and comply with evolving US and global labor regulations concerning contingent workers. This change, along with measures such as restricting access to internal systems for temporary workers and vendors, aims to clarify that Google is not and never has been the employer of the employees of its suppliers. According to a Google spokesperson, these updates bring Google in line with other significant companies. This announcement follows a recent ruling by the US National Labor Relations Board that recognized Google as a 'joint employer' of workers supplied by Cognizant Technology Solutions, requiring the tech giant to negotiate with their union. Google is currently appealing the decision. The 2019 policy was used by the board as evidence that Google exercised control over workers, despite not employing them directly. The labor board has made it more challenging for companies to avoid bargaining with temporary and contract workers. In 2020, it adopted a rule that considers companies to be the employers of contract workers if they have indirect control over working conditions. A federal judge blocked the rule from taking effect in March. The spokesperson stated that Google ( NASDAQ:GOOG ) would continue enforcing its supplier code of conduct, which requires staffing firms and vendors to provide safe working conditions and fulfill current legal obligations. The majority of the company's suppliers operate in states that mandate a minimum wage of at least $15.

Alphabet Inc.'s Google Has Terminated 28 EmployeesAlphabet Inc.'s Google ( NASDAQ:GOOG ) has terminated 28 employees for their involvement in protests against Project Nimbus, a joint $1.2 billion agreement with Amazon.com Inc. to provide AI and cloud services to the Israeli government and military. The protests, organized by the No Tech for Apartheid campaign, took place on Tuesday across Google offices in New York City, Seattle, and Sunnyvale, California. Protesters in New York and California staged a nearly 10-hour sit-in, with others documenting the action through a Twitch livestream. Nine protesters were arrested on trespassing charges. Several workers involved in the protests, including those not directly engaged in the sit-in, received a message from the company's Employee Relations group informing them that they had been put on leave. Google told the affected employees that it's "keeping this matter as confidential as possible, only disclosing information on a need-to-know basis" in an email seen by Bloomberg. On Wednesday evening, the workers were informed that they were being dismissed by the company, according to a statement from Google staff with the No Tech for Apartheid campaign. Google's statement regarding the protesters stated, "Physically impeding other employees' work and preventing them from accessing our facilities is a clear violation of our policies, and completely unacceptable behavior. After refusing multiple requests to leave the premises, law enforcement was engaged to remove them to ensure office safety. We have so far concluded individual investigations that resulted in the termination of employment for 28 employees, and will continue to investigate and take action as needed." The protest took place a day before the Israeli government approved its five-year strategic plan to transition to the cloud under Project Nimbus and expand digital services. Israel's Defense Ministry and military were listed in a government statement as partners in Project Nimbus, along with other government offices. A representative for Google said that the Nimbus contract is "not directed at highly sensitive, classified, or military workloads relevant to weapons or intelligence services." Google ( NASDAQ:GOOG ) has long favored a culture of open debate, but employee activism in recent years has tested that commitment. Workers who organized a 2018 walkout over the company's handling of sexual assault allegations claimed that Google punished them for their activism. Four other workers alleged they were fired for organizing opposition to Google's work with federal Customs and Border Protection and for other workplace advocacy. US labor law gives employees the right to engage in collective action related to working conditions. Tech workers will likely argue that this should grant them the ability to band together to object to how the tools they create are used, said John Logan, a professor of labor at San Francisco State University. Tech companies like Google ( NASDAQ:GOOG ) have a reputation for having "more egalitarian and very cosmopolitan work cultures, but when they encountered labor activism among their own workers, they actually responded in a sort of quite draconian way," Logan added. Two Google employees who were involved in the protest in California told Bloomberg that a group of workers gathered on the sixth floor of Google's Sunnyvale bureau, where Cloud Chief Executive Officer Thomas Kurian's office is located, to show support for those who were staging the sit-in. It's unclear how Google identified participants in the protest, as only some had their badges scanned by security personnel, and some of those who were fired were outside Google's offices, according to the employees. One worker said Google ( NASDAQ:GOOG ) may have framed the move to initially place employees on leave as "confidential" to save face publicly, and argued that the protesters did not violate any company policies. The protesters left the building as soon as they were asked to and did not obstruct or disrupt others at the company, the person said. Beyond the protest, Google ( NASDAQ:GOOG ) has struggled with how to manage internal debate about the Middle East conflict. After the demonstration, posts on internal Google forums featured a mix of pro-Palestinian and pro-Israeli sentiment, with a number of other workers saying they felt the topic was inappropriate for the workplace, a Google ( NASDAQ:GOOG ) employee said. Moderators locked down some threads on the subject, saying prior discussions had gotten too heated, the employee added. Despite Google's response, employees demonstrating against Project Nimbus have seen an uptick in support since the sit-in, said one of the fired workers.

GOOGLE Short-term correction is another longterm buy opportunityLast time we looked at Alphabet Inc (Google/ GOOG) almost two months ago (February 27, see chart below) we caught an excellent buy entry and even tough the price dipped some more after, it is approaching our 168.00 Target: Yesterday's strong bearish 1D candle serves as an early signal that the stock can pull-back to its 1D MA50 (blue trend-line) again on the short-term before resuming the long-term bullish trend. After all this is not unfamiliar to Google's 15-month Channel Up pattern, which had a similar 1D MA50 pull-back on numerous occasions, the shortest of which has been -10.45%. Due to the fair symmetrical attributes of the Higher Highs as well, we revise our Target and place it even higher at 175.00 (+22.18% projection from the expected Low). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** Please LIKE 👍, FOLLOW ✅, SHARE 🙌 and COMMENT ✍ if you enjoy this idea!

Google Goes is DownBearish divergence in stock trading occurs when the price of an asset forms higher highs while the corresponding indicator, such as the Relative Strength Index (RSI) or Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD), forms lower highs. This suggests weakening momentum and potential for a downward move in price. The possibility of a move down depends on various factors such as market conditions, volume, and other technical indicators, but it indicates a higher probability of a downward correction or trend reversal. In trading, all we have is probability and risk management. I’m entering at the re-test of today’s low. Join me.

AI vs. AGI: The Race for Performance, Battling the Cost?Artificial intelligence (AI) has become ubiquitous, transforming industries and powering everything from facial recognition to self-driving cars. However, the dream of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) – machines with human-level intelligence and understanding – remains elusive. Let's delve into the key differences between AI and AGI, particularly regarding their performance and the immense computational cost that hinders AGI development. AI: The Specialized Powerhouse Current AI excels in specific tasks. Deep learning algorithms trained on massive datasets can identify objects in images with superhuman accuracy, translate languages with remarkable fluency, or play games at a level surpassing even the most skilled humans. This specialization, however, comes at a cost. AI systems often struggle with tasks outside their narrowly defined domain. For example, an image recognition AI trained on cat pictures may misidentify a dog as a cat due to a lack of broader understanding. Computationally, AI can be quite efficient. While training complex models requires significant resources, once trained, they can run on relatively inexpensive hardware. This efficiency is crucial for real-world applications where cost is a major factor. AGI: The Elusive Generalist AGI represents the holy grail of AI research – a machine that can learn, reason, and adapt to new situations just like a human. Such an intelligence would have applications beyond our wildest dreams, revolutionizing every aspect of society. However, achieving AGI presents a significant challenge. The human brain, with its intricate network of neurons and complex processes, is a marvel of biological engineering. Replicating this level of intelligence artificially requires immense computational power. Training AGI models on the vast amount of data needed for general knowledge would require massive computing clusters, consuming enormous amounts of energy. This not only raises practical concerns about cost but also environmental ones. The Road Ahead The quest for AGI continues, with researchers exploring various avenues. Neuromorphic computing, which attempts to mimic the structure and function of the brain, holds promise for more efficient learning algorithms. Additionally, advancements in hardware, such as specialized AI chips, could help reduce the computational burden. While the development of true AGI might still be far off, the ongoing research paves the way for more powerful and versatile AI. By optimizing existing algorithms and developing new computational architectures, we can bridge the gap between specialized AI and the dream of a general artificial intelligence. This journey will require innovation not just in AI research but also in sustainable energy solutions to power these future advancements. 1Current AI vs. Non-existent AGI: By definition, there is no true AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) yet. So, in that sense, current AI excels in its specific field because AGI wouldn't have a "field" in the same way. Specialized AI vs. Hypothetical General AGI: If an AGI ever emerges, it's unlikely to directly compete with specialized AI in their narrow domains. Here's why: Specialization is Key: Current AI thrives because it's laser-focused on specific tasks. An AGI, with its broader intelligence, might not be as efficient for these tasks. Different Tools for Different Jobs: Imagine needing to hammer a nail. You wouldn't use a Swiss Army knife (the AGI) when a simple hammer (the specialized AI) is perfect for the job. Outperform in Unfamiliar Situations: While a specialized AI might struggle with anything outside its training data, an AGI could potentially adapt and learn new tasks more readily. Revolutionize the Field: An AGI might not directly "beat" a specialized AI, but it could completely redefine how a task is approached, leading to even more powerful AI solutions. DeepMind, a leading AI research lab owned by Google, is tackling a wide range of ambitious projects. Here are some highlights: Healthcare: DeepMind Health is applying AI to medical challenges. They've collaborated with hospitals to develop algorithms for analyzing eye scans for early signs of blindness and differentiating healthy from cancerous tissues. Scientific Discovery: DeepMind's AlphaFold project has made significant strides in protein folding prediction, a critical step in understanding diseases and developing new drugs. Efficiency and Sustainability: A collaboration with Google AI led to WaveRNN, a method for improving audio call quality, even with dropped packets. Their AlphaFold project itself has the potential to accelerate discoveries in clean energy and materials science. Gaming and Robotics: DeepMind's AI agents have achieved superhuman performance in complex games like StarCraft II. Their AlphaFold project demonstrates the potential for AI-powered robotics in scientific experimentation and materials creation (Project A-Lab). AI for the Future: DeepMind's efforts extend beyond specific applications. Their Visualising AI program commissions artists to create thought-provoking pieces that challenge how we perceive AI. Additionally, their recent release of Gemma, a state-of-the-art open model, promotes responsible AI development by making research tools more accessible. These are just a few examples. DeepMind is constantly pushing the boundaries of AI research, aiming to use this technology for positive impact across various fields.

Google's Dive: Next Stop Wave 2? Google is currently experiencing a significant drop, just as expected, with a decline of more than 3%. We should soon be at a point to conclude Wave A of this correction, then move upwards into Wave B, and finally downwards into Wave C. The exact development remains uncertain. Google moves very similarly to Apple, yet they are not in an identical cycle. We don't foresee a possibility of a much deeper fall, perhaps only a retest of the $83.34 level. However, we shouldn't fall much below that. We're anticipating that we are in a Wave (2), which should reach between 50 and 78.6%. This places Google's level between $119 and $99 in this scenario. We will keep you updated on the type of correction—zigzag or flat—we are dealing with. For now, we strongly believe that we will soon see this Wave (2) materialize.

GOOGL upside tgts hit. Bearish energy.I had an old idea from the end of January on GOOGL when I attempted to get an idea of what to expect for earnings with my dowsing work. It wasn't the greatest, but there was some relevance, and now over 2 months later, GOOGL has reached slightly above the original $156-57 target and the energy is now bearish. I ask what the target is and get the $130 level. I don't like that it perfectly lines up with those prior lows because in my past experience, this can just be pointing out an important low. So, I ask for a second level and get $137. Possibly $139, so watch around there. That's all for now.

Practice GOOGL earnings btdMy dowsing chose this one out of the options available on the earnings whisper calendar posted on X, so I had to see what's up. I've avoided earnings for awhile, but it's good practice, so here goes: Watch for a spike down and reverse up. Low around 12 pts down = $139ish possibly 138 Time of day to look for the low or reversal up: 12:50-1:00 I've experimented with times quite a bit with /ES and it's mostly good, but most often reflects the time before an actual directional move and can be a higher low/lower high kind of idea. So don't expect it to necessarily be the dead lows, and sometimes it's just plain wrong. I'm interested in this though since my pendulum chose this stock out of all the other ones. I'll update with a target if this seems to be the scenario.

GOOG- a cup and handle in formation LONGGOOG on the daily time frame showa a cup and handle pattern beginning at the November 21 high from the uptrend out of the Covid "crash" Price has printed the cup and returned to the same price level of about 150 ; A handle is forming now. The cup and handle pattern forecasts a bullish continuation from that price level to the extent of the height of the cup. Accordingly, this would be from about $ 150 to about $220. Daily charts have high reliability as do cup and handle patterns. The RSI indicator shows strength in the 50-60 range so GOOG has a long way to go before being overbought. . Once price is over $ 150, I will initiate a position on GOOG shares and look to also take call options striking $150 for late 2024 or 2025.

GOOG- now at ATH completing A Cup and Handle LONGGOOG as shown on the daily chart has completed a cup and handle and has the momentum of moving up to its previous ATH set 2/1/24 and November '21. This could forecast bullish continuation to add $50-70 onto current price as so 30% onto the market cap. GOOG has been relatively stable in the current general market environment. Earnings are coming in three weeks. Google is dependent on ad revenues primarily and so its income stream is relatively narrow focused no matter the variety of its services. I will take a long trade here expecting good price movement heading into earnings with a trim of the position just before earnings and stop loss adjustments at increments to diminish.

Alphabet Inc. (GOOGL) Stock in Focus.In this session, we've witnessed Alphabet Inc. (GOOGL) closing at $150.53, down by 2.83% from the previous close. Our technical analysis aims to dissect Alphabet's current chart patterns and indicators to guide prospective market insights. Ichimoku Cloud Analysis: GOOGL's price is floating above the Ichimoku Cloud, indicating a bullish trend in the intermediate term. However, it's crucial to observe that the price is in proximity to the cloud. A break below could signify a trend reversal, while remaining above the cloud supports bullish sentiment. Bollinger Bands: The stock price is currently trending towards the upper Bollinger Band, suggesting it is approaching potentially overbought levels. Given the price pullback on the most recent trading day, investors may watch for stabilization or a bounce off the moving average to maintain bullish control. Fibonacci Retracement Levels: The Fibonacci retracement, drawn from a swing low of approximately $127.85 to a swing high near $151.78, provides key levels of support and resistance. With the price hovering above the 61.8% retracement level at $138.48, this area serves as an important support zone for any pullbacks. Volume Analysis: The volume shows noticeable spikes on certain days, indicating specific sessions of heightened trading activity. This increased volume, particularly on up days, typically signifies strong buyer interest. RSI (Relative Strength Index): The RSI indicator is hovering around 57.44, which leans toward the higher side of the neutral range but is not yet in the overbought territory (typically considered to be above 70). This suggests there is room for potential upside before the stock becomes overextended. Earnings Overview: Alphabet's quarterly financial performance, revealing a downtrend in revenue and net income over the past quarters. The net margin percentage has also shown a decline. This financial trajectory may influence investor sentiment, possibly leading to increased volatility in the stock price. Conclusion: Alphabet Inc. (GOOGL) maintains a bullish stance from a technical standpoint, primarily supported by its position above the Ichimoku Cloud and the recent trading above key Fibonacci levels. Nonetheless, the recent downturn in price coupled with declining financial performance could cause concern. Investors should monitor whether the stock will hold above the Ichimoku Cloud and the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level to confirm bullish persistence. A continued RSI under 70 allows for a bullish interpretation but warrants vigilance against potential reversals, especially if the earnings trend continues its downward slope. Market participants may consider this an opportune moment to scrutinize Alphabet's ability to sustain its current levels or if market conditions might compel a reevaluation of the bullish sentiment.
