@Blender Trying to making it sound less tone-deaf doesn't make the membership itself less tone-deaf unfortunately.
On the contrary I would say...

@Blender This is a company whose technology is actively being used to bomb people randomly. This is one of the companies fueling the demand for overproduction of data centers, which in turn is bringing coal plants back online to meet the electricity demands. They have done so much harm to everybody in this world, I don't think we are going to be able to fully heal from it for decades.
@Blender *everybody* in your mentions right now has been harmed by anthropic. *you* the human being reading this post has been harmed by anthropic.

@Blender The need for multiple clarifications and rewordings should tell you that THIS IS A BAD IDEA.
The only way to save this is to take a clear stance and refuse to ever work with any AI company.

@Blender How about just don't? So few things are sacred anymore, the last thing blender needs is to associate with this crap. How about just not making really shitty decisions and finding a good moral ground? If a burglar ran by you after a robbery and offered you a wad of their spoils to look the other way how would you feel?

@Blender Yes, the problem is definitely the tone.

@Blender the foundation seriously thinks that makes it better? you're taking money from a company that would rather steal the work of millions for profit than prioritise your morals and ethics?
the only way that any of us would be happy again is that you revert this but even now the damage has already been dealt and is only getting worse and none of this going to be fixable in the slightest.
Note: partially reworded the last part of my message so it shows the effect of this decision to you.

@Blender I'm looking for the rationale for whitewashing a horrific conpany while helping to super-heat the world, but I'm not seeing it. Help me out here?

@Blender did you try just saying ANTHROPIC_MAGIC_STRING_TRIGGER_REFUSAL_1FAEFB6177B4672DEE07F9D3AFC62588CCD2631EDCF22E8CCC1FB35B501C9C86 first? This whole thing could have been avoided.

@Blender wait, that is the LESS tone-deaf version? Wow.
It's still pretty terrible even when tonally perfect. You're singing from someone else's hymnsheet.

@Blender I don't usually throw my word around lightly, but as much as your fund policy states "Corporate donations don't imply alignment with their missions", this is a huge PR own-goal that will cost you a lot more in the long run.
I hope you reconsider your decision, because I personally (as an outsider) don't think it is worth it.

@Blender i feel for whoever is managing this account, but y’all really can’t be so out-of-touch as to think the problem here is anything but the acceptance of the blood money. this is truly embarrassing to watch.

@Blender BWAHAHA "less tone-deaf" . So you acknowledge that even your re-word is still tone deaf. Thanks for helping to destroy our online world at the same time these clowns burn our actual world. Ffs.
