(cw: rape, sexual assault) Yesterday, @alienmelon wrote about how famed game composer Jeremy Soule raped them a decade ago and used his reputation in the industry to exploit a young talent for free labor and silence their story.
Inspired by Nathalie's story, @UnburntWitch wrote about her own experience of sexual assault, months into her game design career, by Night in the Woods/Aquaria co-creator Alec Holowka.
Inspired by their stories, @ohadelaide came out publicly that Gears of War/Halo tools programmer Luc Shelton sexually assaulted and gaslit her and others.
Thank you to each of you for telling your stories, and everyone vocally supporting them for their bravery and inspiring others. Every abused person needs to know they can speak out and we'll have their backs, and every abuser needs to face consequences for their actions.

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. waxy.org/2022/11/invasi…
The Redditor used a technique developed by Google called DreamBooth, reimplemented for Stable Diffusion, using only 32 illustrations from the artist. Training took 2.5 hours of cloud GPU time at a cost of under $2. He then released the finetuned model for everyone to use.
DreamBooth allows you to introduce new subjects or styles to Stable Diffusion, with leaps in speed and usability happening weekly. I was able to train an AI on my own face in about 20 minutes on Google Colab. It cost me about $0.20. (You can also do it for free, but it's slower.) Image

I'd love to know where this YouTube channel is getting all its vintage videos from. Ephemeral footage of computer/game stores, arcades, and videos of the early internet like this one: surfing the WWW in 1995.

B-roll news footage of the Sears 1982 Christmas Season, featuring the Atari 800, Intellivision, and my personal favorite, the Vectrex.

Here’s a mystery: someone apparently exploited American Airlines’ in-flight PA to broadcast their own voice for the duration of a flight. Flight crew couldn’t stop it and never figured out who did it or how it was done.
American Airlines told @garyleff that maintenance “determined the sounds were caused by an issue with the PA amplifier. There was no external access to the system.” But what kind of amp malfunction could cause those very human sounds? viewfromthewing.com/no-theres-no-g…
There are multiple reports of similar PA behavior from multiple @AmericanAir flights.

Vimeo is screwing over long-time indie creators, ordering them to pay thousands of dollars yearly or they’ll delete their accounts with a week’s notice. This is particularly awful for Patreon creators, since it’s the default video provider. theverge.com/2022/3/15/2297…
Vimeo says they’re only asking the top 1% of bandwidth-users to pay up, but that’s a shockingly low bar: one creator said their most-viewed subscriber-only video had only 815 views, enough to put them in the top 1% of all users and requiring a $3,500 yearly plan. Image
Vimeo IPOed in May of last year, and it’s turned into an enterprise sales machine targeting large corporations. Their leadership refuses to distinguish between an indie artist and a Fortune 500 company, a betrayal of the community that made it popular. investors.vimeo.com/static-files/b…
