I think you spell "breaking" wrong. AI, btw, won't build roads or unclog my sink, ignoring that "ending capitalism" isn't intrinsically a problem at all. 2, 4, 5 are kind of no-brainers. 3 doesn't mean financial/economic activity will halt (and seems like QC could solve the problem as well as create it).

Thanks, I think I did, see, I need better AI spell check. I actually disagree with the AI comment, but it's a long conversation, I am writing an article about why I think it's a real problem, and I'll be sure to post it. As for the QC, I agree, but imagine if a company announced tomorrow that they have QC capable of cracking public key encryption. There are algorithms that resist QC, but they are not being implemented in a wide spread way at the moment. So it's a solvable problem, like you pointed out, but it has yet to be recognized as a problem by major financial institutions.
