Music in 2026: Who's releasing new albums and will Oasis play Knebworth?

BBC News

Music in 2026: Who's releasing new albums and will Oasis play Knebworth? As the sun sets on 2025, all the year-end lists have been published and it's time to look forward to what 2026 has in store. In many ways, the last 12 months have felt transitional. With relatively few A-list releases, and a Brat-shaped hole in the summer, music seemed to split in two. The charts were agonisingly static: Just three songs held the number one spot hostage for half the year: Taylor Swift's Fate of Ophelia, Huntr/x's Golden, and Alex Warren's Ordinary (never has a song been so aptly titled).

OpenAI's Sora 2 is drowning in Japanese 'AI slop'

The Japan Times

OpenAI has rolled out a social app powered by Sora 2, its artificial intelligence video generator, which was quickly flooded with videos featuring iconic Japanese intellectual property. In a short video widely shared online, Pokemon frolic through a lush green field while OpenAI CEO Sam Altman watches from the sidelines. He then turns to the camera and says, "I hope Nintendo doesn't sue us." Named for the Japanese word for "sky" due to the product's "limitless potential," according to company lore, the platform was released to a handful of users last week and was quickly flooded with videos featuring iconic Japanese intellectual property (IP), including Pokemon, One Piece and Dragon Ball Z. Such videos, which are only possible to generate because of OpenAI "training" Sora 2 on the work of human creators, have been widely branded "AI slop" by critics.

Social Security stronger under Trump, critics pushing 'false' narrative, commissioner says

FOX News

Social Security Administration Commissioner Frank Bisignano provides an update on the agency's work on'The Claman Countdown.' President Donald Trump's pick to head the nation's Social Security apparatus, Commissioner Frank Bisignano, told Fox News Digital that criticisms of the Trump administration's approach to Social Security are politically motivated and misleading. Democrats have expressed a wide range of concerns about Social Security under the current administration, including claims the Trump administration is making it more difficult for seniors and people with disabilities to access their benefits. The Trump administration's critics have also expressed concern that the president is seeking to privatize the program and is exaggerating fraud concerns to justify sweeping reforms. Democrats in Congress have gone as far as launching a "Social Security War Room" to coordinate their efforts to fight back.


1980s child star talks 'Goonies' sequel, music career, and why AI threatens Hollywood's 'magic'

FOX News

Corey Feldman discusses his movie "The Birthday," which wrapped in 2004. "The Goonies" star Corey Feldman is concerned that the rise of artificial intelligence could ruin the "magic" of Hollywood filmmaking. In a new interview with Fox News Digital, the entertainer talked about his decades of being part of the film industry and what he thinks of it today compared to how it was when he was starring in beloved 80s classics like "Goonies," "The Lost Boys" and "The Burbs." When asked if he believes modern Hollywood can still conjure up the same "magic" that led to the creation of these iconic films, he said he wasn't so sure. "Well, I share the opinion that there is a lot of the magic that's been lost because of A.I., because of CGI, because of, you know, these things kind of taking over from the good stories, the great characters that we draw, the great writing," Feldman said.
