Please forgive my ignorance, but do most hackers leave their phone's GPS antenna turned on most of the time?
And do most hackers update all their apps automatically? I generally do a "broad" update once or twice a year. And I update specific apps as needed (or desired). I would have assumed most hackers would do these kinds of things. It's like putting a tape "lid" over your webcam and only taking it off when you want to use it. Isn't it?

Wow, what went so wrong to the point that it blocked the update process?

Read over [1] and am currently watching [2], and I really can't get over a not insignificant bit of dissonance:
(a) He seems to be very intelligent. Kudos. But…
(b) How good of an idea is it really to create software with these abilities? We're already making machines that can do most things that had once been exclusive to humans. Pretty soon we'll be completely obsolete. Is that REALLY a good idea? To create "face detectors" (his words!)?
