I've heard so many versions of this song and they're all great. But in my opinion, this is the best version ever.
Quite funny. AI can modestly predict survival where people look older or younger than they are. But wait, everyone does that every day and likely with some general predictive validity. The unaddressed question is whether AI is any better at it. theguardian.com/technology/2…

Without making any assumptions about cause of death, I feel truly sorry for this man's family. Relatively regular guy, if well connected, who might have made a terrible mistake once. A lot of the comments here are sympathetic: human face of X.

Glen Campbell. William Tell Overture.
A jaw-dropping display of guitar 🎸 playing coordination. Blazing-fast rapid alternate picking and musical showmanship.
