Copyright issues aside, can we talk about how this implies accurate recall of an image from a never before achievable data compression ratio? If these models can actually recall the images they have been fed this could be a quantum leap in compression technology.

Just because you are fast doesn’t mean you can see all around you at all times. In any contact sport contact is eventually inevitable, because they almost always involve you running at people at some point.

Most depections of telekinesis do not exert an opposing force on the user, in other words the force is exerted in an arbitrary vector from an arbitrary point in space. That means you could compress a hole in the ground under you but not levitate at all because the force doesn’t act on your body. If it did act on your body lifting 5000 lb would crush your bones to dust.

As other people have pointed out a better option is the “magic carpet ride” or more desirable “flying motocycle” angle, where you Exert force on an object and it moves you as it normally would when pushed or pulled by any other force. I personally like the “infinite parasailing/paragliding” angle as it is possible to do without immediately being noticeable as strange by the public, and it requires less mental effort since you are still using lift for upforce.

Contact sports woth super speed is not a good idea unless you have very enhanced durability. The likelihood you will end up with brain damage or accidentally badly injure someone else and yourself is way too high. Track and field is clearly the way to go.

Vehicle design prioritizing pedestrian survivability is beneficial regardless of urban design, though admittedly an optimal design will depend on median speed of the vehicle.in pedestrian areas.

Return to retro 1940s rounded truck hoods is honestly an inevitable design shift at some point, as fashion always cycles, but the aerodynamics and fuel efficiency standards are against it.

Would cattle scoop style front ends save lives? The point would need to be crumply plastic for auto collisions, but i wonder if designing for deflection would legitimately benefit pedestrian collision survivability.

Accidentally nailed it.

Ugh, yeah, I fought aurocorrect over it and lost in the end it looks like. Got it fixed up now.
