US life expectancy actually peaked 10 years ago in 2014 and decreased for 3 years in a row after that. By 2019, US life expectancy had recovered a bit but was still below the 2014 peak. In other words, the problem predates COVID.

Great charts from last year from FT.
People literally just dying on the streets. US Social safety net is not for the bottom 1%.
And remember, the UK is 'twice' as poor as the US by GDP per capita, for all the people crowing that the poorest US states are so much richer than everyone else in the world. Pre-Covid data as well, in case someone wanted to push that excuse.
On a positive note though, mass use of weight loss medicine might improve US life expectancy over the next few decades.
But doesn't particularly solve the issue of people dying before 40.....

This is because there's a small portion of the population that is living a very comfortable life, and then there's a large portion of the population that isn't. However, statistics work in mysterious ways, and it averages out to 'high living standard'.
Anyways, you should also look at the delta-v of the living standard. Not the highest in the world, not by far. Probably because it's negative.
Scarlett has a bad personal history with AI. She was the centerpiece of every deepfake experiment in pornography, about a decade ago. From major studios to basement amateurs, everybody used her videos to experiment deepfakes. She pursued legal action repeatedly but eventually gave up with exhaustion.

She was the voice of an AI in this 2013 movie
I think OpenAI tried to use her voice for assistant but couldn’t get the rights so that they altered it enough to not get sued.

That's what got Sam Altman into trouble because he was a fan of that movie and wanted Scarlett Johansson to be the voice of his AI. I believe she actually was approached for this but didn't accept. Then Open AI did it anyway. That's why the threat of legal action because there was already evidence they did ask her to do it. And that's how Scarlett Johansson is a top 100 player in AI...

This is very serious matter and considering the pathetic conditions of billion of Muslims which will get even worse with the decline of West. Russians have worked on this subject area and if Arabic is too difficult a language for such a complex subject matter. They can start in English and Russian. This is person who funded Maria Sharapova and this kind of mind set that is driving this Ukraine, demographic and migration policies in Russia and it all revolves around Kazan and they are ahead because they effectively implemented Arabic Soft Power.

If that’s the case then why are the senior officials running to China every two months and not vice versa?
