The two are not exclusive. Besides, cockroaches don't really have a central conscious brain or something, you can cut their head off and they will continue to live happily.
Don't forget that folding@home is also basically a big botnet.
VR glasses are nothing new, the big question is whether this one will be actually affordable by the general public.
It would be perfectly fine if that was true, but it isn't. The DMCA and other copyright laws make Youtube legally liable for their users' actions, thus they are not free to show what they want and not what they don't.
Cameras can do the same job, are much cheaper, don't need supervision and can be set up not to be intrusive. A policeman controlling a drone that's patrolling an area could just as well get on his bike and do the patrol himself.

True, there are some words that have an inherent bias, but those aren't really used in Wikipedia articles. Words like hippy, liberal or racist are only biased in certain contexts. The researchers didn't search for actually biased words, but did an algorithmic wordcount in political writings to identify the 'bias' of each word, which I think is far too inaccurate for the confident conclusions they have drawn.
It's much easier to tell by looking whether a video contains nudity then to tell whether its uploader has the right to distribute it.
