Humans&, a new startup founded by alumni of Anthropic, Meta, OpenAI, xAI, and Google DeepMind, is building the next generation of foundation models for collaboration, not chat.

Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis says the tech giant isn't pressuring him to insert ads into the AI chatbot experience.

Ring says the new feature will identify if video edits have been made, even if they're minor.

Phenomenal as always. Since their debut with Humble Folks in 2016, Flatland Cavalry has remained one of the most talented and ultimately underrated bands in the entire country scene. With certified classics such as their certified gold track with Kaitlin Butts, “A Life Where We Work Out,” as well as “Sleeping Alone,” “Missing You” and “Mountain Song,” the band has continuously lived up to their “easy on the ears, heavy on the heartbreak” mantra over the years. As of late, they’ve continued their success on a bigger scale. Receiving not one but two-straight nominations for Group of the Year at the ACM Awards, Flatland has also scored major opening spots on the likes of Luke Combs’ tour in 2023 and more notably, both reigning CMA Entertainer of the Year, Lainey Wilson and Billboard’s #1 Artist of 2025, Morgan Wallen, on their upcoming tours this year. While award nominations and opening for superstars are undoubtedly great, it’s their sound that makes Flatland so special. It feels a bit cliché to say that a band feels like they can exist in any era, but it remains true with Flatland. With an undeniably warm, traditional sound, highlighted primarily by frontman Cleto Cordero’s vocals and the heavy emphasis on fiddle from multiple members of the band throughout its existence, the Lubbock-based band has remained one of the best bands in an era filled with some of the most talented groups we’ve seen in decades. It’s becoming clear that 2026 is looking to be a big one for the band. Beyond the aforementioned opening spots with Wilson and Wallen, they’ve been hinting at the prospect of a new album, the first since 2023’s Wandering Star, for quite some time now. They’ve already given us a taste of what’s to come with October’s release of “Gone” and their stellar new single from last week, “Never Comin’ Back.” As we patiently wait for an album announcement some time this year, Flatland kept fans satisfied with the release of their “Trail Mix Session,” in Morrison, Colorado in Red Rocks. In case you’re not familiar with Red Rocks’ “Trail Mix Session,” it’s a series live performance videos uploaded by Red Rocks Amphitheater. Typically, these sessions provide stripped-back performances of artists’ biggest hits over the years. Recently, Charles Wesley Godwin, Marcus King, Margo Price and Wyatt Flores had their music highlighted in the series, and they were nothing short of phenomenal. Of course, the same can be said about Flatland’s session here today. Unsurprisingly, Flatland began the session with their aforementioned new single, “Never Comin’ Back.” While the studio version is phenomenal in its own right, being a certified heartbreaker, it benefits from the stripped-back nature here. Letting Cleto’s vocals and lyrics take center stage and highlighting Adam Gallegos’ stellar picking on banjo, it just might be the definitive version of the song to me. During the intermission between songs, Cordero would take a moment to reflect on his relationship with songwriting. Noting how universal music and writing in general is, he’d express how meaningful it’s been to see fans connect with their music over the past decade. “I’ve always thought of songs kind of like a distillation of an emotion or your spirit or something. And we all have those running through us, so if I experience something and have an emotion about it and ponder on it and emote that through a song, through melody and rhyme and meter, someone else receives that message. They compartmentalize it, and it syncs up to some emotion that they’ve experienced. And I realized that, through songwriting, and performing it for people, I saw a light within them that I’ve never seen before in strangers. It kind of brought us together, so that feeling is what I’ve been chasing all the while. Since I was 17 or the last song I just wrote, it’s something that’s near and dear to you that you want to share with someone else — and it makes us realize that we’re not alone.” To close the session, Cordero’s wife and Oklahoman powerhouse, Kaitlin Butts, would join him on their signature hit, “A Life Where We Work Out.” At this point, there’s not much else that can be said about the song since it’s simply that good. A certified country classic in all aspects, they delivered another phenomenal performance of the track here in Red Rocks. As with any of these “Trail Mix Sessions,” it’s nothing short of a must-watch if you’re a Flatland fan.

A class act as always. Luke Combs is gearing up for a massive stadium tour run this spring and summer, among many other stadiums, he will play Notre Dame Stadium in South Bend, Indiana on April 18th. And it sounds like he will have some very special guests there. A TikTok user named Maddie shared a now-viral video trying to get Luke’s attention, as she shared the tragic story of how her dad passed away tragically on November 30th while taking her brother back to college at Notre Dame. Today is her brother, Conner’s, 19th birthday, and Maddie went into detail describing how close all of her siblings were to their dad and what happened on that tragic day: “They would always talk to each other on the way there, they were watching football,. Everything seemed to be normal and he got all the way to Notre Dame, and they said their goodbyes and ‘I love yous’ and he turned around to drive back home. Conner unpacked his clothes, he planned on calling my dad 30 minutes later because that was their plan and what they usually did. He tried to call him 30 minutes later and he never answered, and my dad was the person to answer us or my mom, or my brothers on the first ring, so him not answering was really weird. He checked the Life 360 location after not seeing that my mom was talking to him, after she called him, and he saw that he was down the street, maybe waiting out traffic, that was his thinking. But him not answered was really weird. So he decided to run to him, and he ran down the street to him to find him unconscious and having a type of foam coming out of him in the Notre Dame parking lot. He grabbed him out of the car and did CPR for eleven minutes before the ambulance came, and he was pronounced dead about an hour after this whole thing, with 45 minutes of CPR from the ambulance.” She explained that her dad was her best friend, and everyone in her family’s best friend, and that one of the last memories they have as a family was at the Notre Dame football stadium this past fall, where Luke will be playing this Spring. Conner is a huge Luke Combs fan, and she wants to do something very special for her brother: “My dad was my brother’s and all of ours best friend, and it has been really hard going through this, and my little brother loves Luke Combs, loves him. My brother’s last memory in the Notre Dame stadium is going there with my mom and dad during the fall football game, and I would love to be able to surprise him with something… just to make that first time back in the stadium with this memory of my whole family, besides me because I was at school, being together would be something I would love to do.” She sounds like an amazing sister, and as fate would have it, Luke has already seen her video and left the following comment saying he would do everything in his power to make the night special for her whole family: “I got you Maddie. So sorry for your loss. Promise I’ll make that night special for Connor and your family! God bless.” I have no doubt it will be a night their entire family will remember forever, and while they’ve obviously been through a horrible tragedy, hopefully this will be a bright spot in 2026 following so much sadness: “Dear Luke Combs, To summarize this video. My dad tragically and suddenly passed away on the Notre Dame campus on November 30th. My brother, Conner, was the one to find him and give him CPR. He’s a current freshman at Notre Dame, and I would love to help him make have a positive experience at ND now after this tragedy. My goal is for Luke to meet my brother, as this would be one of his dreams. Luke plans to head to Notre Dame in the spring, and having my brothers first time be positive in the stadium after his last memory is a football game with my dad would be my dream. Please tag Luke and try and grab his attention. If you know my little brother PLEASE do not share this video or tell him about this. Thank you.” You can watch it here: @stackersss Dear Luke Combs, To summarize this video. My dad tragically and suddenly passed away on the Notre Dame campus on November 30th.

Conner will be meeting Luke in April, and I cannot be more excited for him. This wouldn’t be possible without all your support, so thank you all so much. I’m trying to figure out how I tell Conner, so if anyone has any ideas, please let me know. I would love to be able to tell him before I leave Sunday if possible. Thank you guys.” I’m sure we’ll hopefully get to see some videos and photos once it happens, but Maddie is an amazing sister and I’m sure this will be a night their entire family won’t ever forget: @stackersssThank you guys so much for the prayers, support, and getting this to Luke’s attention!
