The fact that google can recognize pictures of cats is a mere side effect of their massive neural network program. It was never a goal to 'recognize cats', this is just how media spins it (pun intended LOL).

Google x → Google X – The name Google X is almost always capitalized in sources
[1] (note: some of these articles are about the rumored Motorola X phone, no relation to Google X.) If that isn't enough,
WP:MOSTM advises that proper noun trademarks should always be capitalized. This article was boldly moved from Google X Lab to its present location this May.

Note: I deleted the talk page that used to live at
Talk:Google X because it contained content from the old page (about the Google Labs experiment) and to preserve the edit history of the article's actual talk page. LFaraone15:02, 6 June 2013 (UTC)reply
Name and logo
It's
just a report for now, but apparently Google will be dropped from Google X. I would propose moving this article to
X (company) if this comes to fruition and is verified. The logo is apparently changing too. If it is similar to the one in the report, I would say that it qualifies for {{PD-shape}} and can be re-created/uploaded to commons. --NaturalRX17:21, 13 January 2016 (UTC)reply
Incorrect and/or outdated information
Google X is now X. All references beyond the first sentence (which is “X, previously Google X…”) should now just say X, not Google X [1]
Many past X projects are missing - These include Google [x] Life Sciences, Gcam, Google Watch, Project Insight, Google Brain, Flux, Project Tango. [2]
Suggest two sections, one “Projects” for current X projects, the other “Graduates” or “Past X projects” for projects that have graduated from X [3]
The campus described was the old campus at various buildings along Stierlin Ct in Mountain View. Most of Google X now resides at the former Mayfield Mall [4] at 100 Mayfield Avenue [5], building RLS1. — Preceding

CommentAlphabet's site states "Alphabet is mostly a collection of companies...", and the
X site does not make reference to Alphabet, if that helps. I would suggest that
X (company) is a preferred title, since 'company' is a more common name than 'subsidiary'. Also, there does not appear to be any other companies named X at this time. --NaturalRX20:27, 2 February 2016 (UTC)reply

As a visitor to the article, the title did not make sense to me. I was unaware of the legal name, which wasn't mentioned in the article. As a result, I created revs
1142759899 and
1142973955 to reword the introduction and infobox to follow the
Meta Platforms example, mentioning that X is legally called X Development LLC (contextualizing article name) and was doing business as X (contextualizing further references to the name).
Today (a few hours ago), an anonymous user called
User:AnonGooglerreverted the change with the message "Reverted prior change that X Development LLC does business as X." No reason is expressed either in the description or on an entry in the talk page. To avoid
WP:WAR (& because I am a new/inexperienced editor), I am seeking the advice of my fellow Wikipedians, and a response from
User:AnonGoogler. Please let me know if there's a better forum to do so.

Re-reverted citing
WP:NCCORP, which says "Regardless of the article title, the first sentence of the article should normally begin with the full legal name of the company." If
User:AnonGoogler reverts again, I will wait until resolution of this thread to make any more edits.

Hi violetwtf, according to X itself (e.g., its website), X claims to be a division of Google LLC, not X Development LLC. After reviewing the history of this wikipedia page (X Development) I was unable to confirm why it was changed to X Development LLC, and I've reviewed the citations as well. So I've revised to make this page consistent with X's own public statements; X refers to itself either as "X" or "X, the moonshot factory"; it appears that only third parties have called X instead as "X Development LLC".

@
Wimmel thanks, I saw that as well after my reply. I prefer to keep it as "X" since (1) it doesn't appear that www.x.company/press is accessible by navigating the current website (i.e., it might be a deprecated link that's still live), (2) it's dated back to 2019, according to the copyright notice, which further leads me to believe that it's a deprecated link, and (3) the same footer in the currently available webpage instead says "X, a division of Google LLC" which makes me believe that X currently signals as a division of Google LLC and not X Development LLC.

X (company) →
X Development – (Could also be X Development LLC). Edit: This could also help tidy up the awfully long hatnote.
Original comment: I think that this would help differentiate this article from other, similarly-named articles, such as
X Company and
X Corp.. I am not sure what the
WP:COMMONNAME here is, but there are some sources which refer to the company as "X Development" or "X Development LLC" (such as
Bloomberg and
Business Insider), and we could always
WP:IGNORE the COMMONNAME guideline, as I believe changing the article name would improve it.

If you look at that list, there are only two companies called "X": Google X and Twitter X. U.S. Steel, X.com, and Twitter would go under "See also" in a DAB page.
