Video and audio hasn't proved much since they were invented. AI does not change that. Demonstrative evidence (videos and audio) has never been considered real evidence (bags of cocaine or whatever) Video evidence needed to be authenticated even before AI. AI changes nothing.

You've hit the nail on the head. All of that surveillance footage from all the surveillance cameras needs to be processed. Self driving cars which use video feeds? Useful. LIDAR self driving cars. Useless. Image generation. Useful, it's basically image recognition in reverse.

We'd live in a world where gold is as treasured as aluminium if Psyche were to be mined. There ate shrines full of aluminium containers nearly everywhere. Aluminium is a vital commodity. Gold might also become a vital commodity. It all depends on how humans use it.

Do you live near a truck eater? Not being able to have a bus route either is expensive and pretty bad urban planning. That's two reasons why minimum clearance has been 5.5 m in India since 2004 at the latest (as elsewhere).

Notice how effective militaries have not been good at marching in formation (barring ceremonial units) for centuries. Scattering and coalescing are more important

Persistence hunters still exist. You can go speak to them. Whether humans evolved bipedalism due to persistence hunting is unsupported, but persistence hunting dates back at least 150k years, anatomically modern humans date back 300k years. youtu.be/826HMLoiE_o?si=tPQm…

IQ tests tell you more about human minds relative to other human minds than about how smart something is. AIs are specifically trained to IQ tests. Humans can do it too. Memorize last row to provide 20/10 vision test result independent of visual acuity. youtu.be/Dh__Anjhn6M?si=R5t5…

Downside all US companies which use steel will have a tougher time making money. Then Trump put tariffs on every damn thing. Trump basket of tariffs is the bucket of crabs meme.

Humans need to go to space so that humanity will survive when humans inevitably decide to throw space rocks at Earth. You can stop feeling nauseous now. It'll all be alright, plenty of more imminent doomsday scenarios to go around.

Have you seen a gorilla skull? Punching a gorilla in the head is a good way to break your hand. Gorillas can't really jab, they don't have the shoulders for it, but pretty much any other punch from a gorilla would fracture a human skull.

youtu.be/Rudy5ZNGp1A?si=ewEB… Notice how a blacksmith does not need to melt metal in order to soften and bend metal. Heating metal is adequate to reduce its tensile strength. Also WTC was an entire compound connected by a shared basement level.

Bird strikes would crumple the cage. The problem is mostly about how fast aircraft move relative to birds. Imagine hitting a deer while speeding in a car. That's roughly comparable to a "slow" low altitude bird strike. Photo is aftermath of a bird strike on nose of plane.

That is modern architecture though. Post modern came after modern. Here's a post modern building. Notice how the basket company has a building shaped like a basket. Notice the ornaments (modern buildings don't). Your picture proves Tucker correct.
