Because they expect a big discussion between people saying it's your own fault if your poor, and other people saying it's somebody else's fault. This results in lots of ad views.
30% of phone owners don't use a password anyway, and most people who find/steal a phone don't have access to this dark database, plus you need to convince people to install the malicious app. All in all, a very small risk.
It's the same picture, both with a cigar stuck in a wall.
The only difference is that in the second picture, the wall has been blurred to make the cigar more obvious.
The point is that most people don't immediately see the cigar in the wall. I showed it to a bunch of friends last night, and it took them between 5 and 10 minutes of staring at the wall to see the cigar.
YOU are the product being sold. YOU are NOT a customer, you are a data source that Google on sells. EVERYTHING Google does is on the basis that they need more advert impressions and click throughs
They need to do a better job. All I see is ads for products I've already bought, over and over again. They need to show me ads for products I don't have yet, but that I would be interested in.
True, but they don't deal with all the little details. The human pilots in an airplane rely a lot on all kinds of automated equipment. They'll engage the auto pilot, and happily look away from the instruments, trusting that the machine knows what to do, or sound an alarm when it doesn't.
When it comes right down to it you won't either.
Already done it. I've been in hospitals where machines watched over me, while the medical staff was busy with other things.
With a machine you can do so much more than that. Not only can you ask why it made a decision, you can replay the same conditions, and check detailed logs to figure out exactly where the problem is, fix the problem, and send the fix to all other cars. And instead of driving 6 months on a learner's permit, you can test drive 10000 cars at the same time, for 24 hours per day if you want too.
Yet so many of you are willing to put your life in it's hands. Personally I think you're all insane.
If it can be demonstrated that the machine makes fewer mistakes than human drivers, it makes perfect sense to trust it. Airplanes and medical equipment are full of machines that we already trust with our lives.
We have no idea yet how human sentience works, therefore it is impossible to emulate it with machinery
You are merely repeating the same bullshit, without adding any argument.
What if I study the brain, and make a complete functional copy of all the little details, without understanding what it actually does on a higher level. The copy behaves exactly the same. Mission accomplished.
Or, I make a genetic programming environment, and let algorithms evolve until they've reached sentience. Just like humans evolved. Mission accomplished.
Humans are not immune to this problem though. One big difference is that our visual system is trained on 3D images, which allow a lot more useful information to be extracted. With 2D images, we also have funny failures.
For instance, how long does it take you to see something funny with this wall ?

And when they have kids, it's hard to tell them that they should save that money instead of sending Timmy on the school trip to the museum
Save up the money before getting kids.

I think you just described a totalitarian regime, not anarchy.
One leads inevitably to the other, because power begets power.
The best government money can buy.

Just make an app that occasionally shows a fake unlock screen, and just capture the touches.
30% of phone owners don't use a password anyway, and most people who find/steal a phone don't have access to this dark database, plus you need to convince people to install the malicious app. All in all, a very small risk.
And once you see the cigar, it's impossible to unsee it.
It's the same picture, both with a cigar stuck in a wall.

Some people are lacking those instincts, and they have a good chance to be more successful, at least on the shorter term.
With a similar argument: what is an app actually going to accomplish once it has the unlock code ?

The only reason that I've heard of these Google apps is because my phone keeps installing updates for them.
Please share, what else makes you special?
Some of them are vegans.
Not an animal, but a cigar. See reply above.

There's a fat brown cigar, with gray tip, sticking straight out of the wall.

If this image were 3D, you'd see it in an instant.
I can copy a Windows install disk, and create a working copy without understanding how it works.
Understanding is not necessarily a requirement for producing a working copy.
If they could they'd do that already.
One problem with that approach is that human brain is simply too big for our current hardware.
With a machine you can do so much more than that. Not only can you ask why it made a decision, you can replay the same conditions, and check detailed logs to figure out exactly where the problem is, fix the problem, and send the fix to all other cars.

Why not ? Just test them, like we do with human drivers .
The ability to apply what you've learned from one task to come up with a novel solution to a non-related task is Intelligence
Just define one task that encompasses both.
We have no idea yet how human sentience works, therefore it is impossible to emulate it with machinery that we understand.
Fixed it for you.
We don't fully understand other people either, and we let them drive and operate heavy machinery.
