If you work in this area, I feel you have a totally different view of things. You can either speak in terms of 'x' isn't possible and end it there or say 'x' is possible and I'm going to discover how.
You and the person's comment above you are missing the point. First watch :
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rbsqaJwpu6A (A.I and physics) are quite related and workable
^I reference the above video not because I watched it and thought (hey that makes sense). I reference it because I already felt the same in my work on A.I and felt (wow someone else gets it)

It's good to keep all sorts of working ideas/knowledge in your head when you're working towards solving a problem. All the physics experiments in the world aren't going to give you insight into problems unless you have workable ideas for how to integrate the findings into understanding/knowledge.
What people often error in is that you can keep hacking away at and brute force your way to knowledge/understanding ...
“A theory can be proved by experiment; but no path leads from experiment to the birth of a theory.” — Albert Einstein
Ancient philosophers solved a lot of problems. More than you seem to be giving credit to. It's from their ideas that people knew where to look to 'prove' things. Watch the Feynman video and truly grasp what he is saying.
I have a serious question : If google uses a person's search results internally to determine that they are a person of interest for hiring, whose to say they aren't using a similar process to strip Intellectual property from searches as it relates to projects they are working on?
i.e : They are internally working on self driving cars and, in particular, are looking for ways to integrate algorithm 'X' in their solution. So, google decides to setup a special filter for searches related to certain profiles that search for 'X and self driving ....Results get fed to the group conducting the work. In effect, allowing them to internally see what 'profiles of interest' are up to as it relates to Google's flagged area of interest.
It would appear that this could easily be made 'legal' under the premise that the individuals are anonymized. However, it does give google a unique advantage in being able to see 'what everyone is up to'.
The fact that they are already using people's specialized searches for flagging them for interviewing makes me strongly believe they are already internally snagging people's searches/clicked links to give them advantage on projects.
I think everyone should take a pause and consider the implications of this as they are quite damning.
