Pretty proud of the @Spotify team for this one – a generative, expressive and realistic AI DJ that delivers a personalized lineup of music and commentary to each user, for all those times you don’t know exactly what you want to hear. Hope you like it! 🎧 https://t.co/4PwXKUW0Cl

This is the moment The Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem was closed due to Coronavirus.
