A teenage boy died in a crash in Mercer County on Sunday.

According to the Mercer County Coroner’s Office, the single-vehicle crash happened on West Jamestown Road in Greene Township Sunday just before 8 p.m.

Police say the 17-year-old boy was apparently speeding when the vehicle veered into the opposing lane before swerving back and losing control. The vehicle then went off the roadway and into a cluster of trees.

The teen, who has not yet been identified, was pronounced dead on scene. His death was ruled an accident as a result of blunt force trauma to the head.

The crash remains under investigation by Pennsylvania State Police.

X should bring back stars, not hide 'likes'
Elon Musk's X is preparing to make "likes" private on the social network, in a change that could potentially confuse users over the difference between something they've favorited and something they've bookmarked. According to new posts by company employees, the decision to hide likes is meant to incentivize engagement, by allowing people to favorite content that seems "edgy" and to protect their public image. The change comes across as somewhat unnecessary, given that X, the company formerly known as Twitter, already had a private way to save posts on the platform: bookmarks.

$6M fine for robocaller who used AI to clone Biden's voice
The FCC has proposed a $6 million fine for the scammer who used voice-cloning tech to impersonate President Biden in a series of illegal robocalls during a New Hampshire primary election. It's more about robocalls than AI, but the agency is clearly positioning this as a warning to other would-be high-tech scammers. This was, of course, fake — a voice clone of President Biden using tech that has become widely available over the last couple years.
