Let's say I want to research something in private. I can absolutely connect to tor and have my identity hidden from the surveillance networks that track us all. Of course, I can't hide from the NSA. If the NSA wants me, they're gonna get me.

Also, if Google's devices or networks get hacked and used for extortion, they've got deep pockets. It'd be a cool plot for a movie, but I'm personally unconcerned about that scenario.

Are you implying that Google will shell out for your ransom insurance if they are found to be hacked? I don't think so.

I was using wavenet as an example of the technology that's possible, I don't think you need to compete with google's proprietary software to make a 30second video clip with faked audio.
