Like all demos, you're losing something watching a video on YouTube. It was meant to be viewed running real-time on your computer. If you have a Windows PC with a good graphics card, give the party-optimized executable linked on Pouet a try, or wait for the proper release. https://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=105954

Razor 1911 made a PC demo for Revision 2026 that's a whirlwind retrospective of the group, touching on a lot of warez/art/demoscene tech, tools, and history since they started in 1985. It won the PC Demo category and clearly earned it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2AnbYNudAyM

For the last two weeks, a Sicilian Redditor named ItalianSausage2023 has been digitizing classic musical SNL performances from their own VHS collection. The audio and video quality's great, better than most copies of these recordings online—if they exist at all. https://www.reddit.com/user/ItalianSausage2023/submitted/

I'm amazed I've never seen this before: a photo licensing company shaking down someone for hosting an image used in an Open Graph tag. https://www.alistairshepherd.uk/writing/open-graph-licensing/

"YouTube only continues to exist because of a delicate dance that keeps rightsholders happy and the music industry paid, but the future of Google itself is a bet on an expansive interpretation of copyright law that every creative industry from music to movies to news hates and will fight to the death." Absolute banger of a post by Nilay Patel. https://www.theverge.com/2023/4/19/23689879/ai-drake-song-google-youtube-fair-use

Last week, a Redditor fine-tuned an AI image model on the work of one illustrator, sparking a debate about the ethics of reproducing a living artist's style. I talked to that artist to see how she felt about it, and the person who made it. https://waxy.org/2022/11/invasive-diffusion-how-one-unwilling-illustrator-found-herself-turned-into-an-ai-model/
