Welcome Anthropic as a Corporate Patron sponsor of the Blender Foundation’s Development Fund!

@Blender We did. It still sucks. This is a TERRIBLE look for the project. Anthropic and the whole "AI" project in general has been nothing but destructive to anything it touches. They're taking OUR creations, whether it be 3D models, drawings, music, writing, code, you name it WITHOUT PERMISSION and then try to sell us back a slopified, soulless version of it. Everyone has receipts! How is this not getting through?!

@Blender please no. Don't take their blood money.

@Blender That sounds like a horrible idea. Even if Anthropic doesn't get any influence, this is a massive blow to your public image.

Dirty money is dirty money.

@Blender
ugh.

[hko@floss.social]

@Blender that's terrible

[robchapman@ohai.social]

@Blender well that was a waste of my spare time teaching myself Blender - I guess vibe art & design is your new thing!

[jorgecandeias@mastodon.social]

@Blender Ugh.

That's icky as hell.

[retrakker@mastodon.social]

@Blender this doesn't make it any better. This company feeds on the visual and engineering creativity of your users and developers. Why would you take money from a company that is by design non-ethical?

[naturemc@mastodon.online]

@Blender no welcome from me, absolutely no welcome.

[krig@goto.liten.app]

@Blender Enjoy the blood money

[dbg3d@masto.es]

@Blender

The problem is the ORIGIN of the money.

There must be an ethic about who is accepted as a patron.

"This is like accepting money from the nazi party, the mafia, Russia, Donald Trump and Israel, all combined. 🤬🤬🤬"

@Blender oof

[cassolotl@toot.wales]

@Blender Oh my god nobody welcomes that

[supernovafiles@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@Blender oh dear...

[miss_rodent@girlcock.club]

@Blender I did. Accepting money from a plagiarism-as-a-service company is still overwhelmingly disrespectful to artists. Your policies do not make this okay, Anthropic has no place in any community that even pretends to care about artists and creatives. Whoever approved this should still be fired.

[wanderingindigitalworlds@sunny.garden]

@Blender Given the fact that Antropic and other LLM peddling companies are an existential threat to the human creative industries, programmers, and human life in general.

Accepting money from such a scummy corporation is an out of touch move!

I don't plan on using Blender anymore, ya'll are on my unsafe software list.

@Blender So sad

@Blender I smell AI bullshit
