Depends on how they define "listening to music." Is being at a concert, or a party with a sound system, also "listening to music"?

Going to happen? San Francisco is already lost! Virtually nobody with a business there is staying there. And LA is getting close to that point.

I'd be in favor of this technology if, and only if, we've also figured out a way to deal with the overpopulation problem.
Being young at 50 works for the Star Trek timeline, because you can go live on any planet or starbase you want to, and not have to worry about money.
On Earth, wouldn't typical countries start to become like India? And if India is already the way it is, wouldn't it devolve into a complete hellscape?
Yes, it sounds selfish of me to say I would be against life-saving technology, because it works too well. But if the alternative is letting much of the world become as overpopulated as India already is, then that's not a price we can afford to pay, even to save millions of lives.

Okay, but what's to stop pedestrians from trashing the shit out of the cameras?
The police‽ In LA‽ Nowadays, they won't even look at black people for fear of losing their job over racism, never mind actually arresting a black person for something as "small" as destruction of property and endangering others. If >0% of the future vandals are black (and that's a pretty safe assumption to make), this company is gonna have a problem.

Oh, and if you're wondering how we can possibly get a computer to do something seemingly impossible, like painting the non-existent parts of a photograph, here's how they do it!

The center of the image is a photograph from 1979.
The outside of the image was painted by an AI, trained on hundreds of millions of images of city streets (and other things). It is essentially "filling in the blank."

I would argue that writing a deliberately-misleading headline is the opposite of responsible reporting.
"Unknown substance" has a completely different connotation than "substance alleged to be pepper spray."

The substance is believed to have originated from a so-called "pepper spray can": a strange and ominous device, previously unknown to man.
