@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.

@Blender "Yeah, let's take money from one of the most unethical company there is..."
I was trying to find a way to use Blender in my FabLab, well I guess that's off the table now.
Come on, get a hold of yourself ! -

@Blender
Are you stupid? Selling out is selling out no matter how you phrase it. -
@thibaultmol @eden @Blender That is an apt typo.

@Blender This is a joke, right? After what they and the other "AI" companies have done to creative communities?

@Blender Why??
But also, this is a great occasion to remind people that #Onshape exists and is a great and easy to use 3D modelling platform, and if you are in education / research you get free access to it:

How many children need to have their brains blown out in order to pay for 2 blender developers?

@Blender I think I appreciate that. It would be nice to have some clarity. Can you point at the elephant in the room. Perhaps even at what's occurred in Iran, given Claude might have been involved there.
I do want you to get money to support blender. But this does not make me excited. Though I appreciate you've announced it openly.

@thibaultmol Money: famously not used for influence

Fuck "Anthropic". For heaven's sake, don't lie in bed with with those ghouls.

@Blender Shame on you

@thibaultmol @UkeleleEric @eden @Blender So, legally speaking (EU tax laws vary, but seem to converge on this), *donations* cannot be based on reciprocity. A public statement thanking the donor is about as far as it can go, or the recipient is in hot water tax wise.
*Sponsorship* is not tax exempt, and can therefore include all the reciprocity the two parties can think of.
So whereas e.g. FOSDEM treats things one way, it does not follow that any other sponsorship has to follow the same rules.

Big mistake. Huge loss of respect. Blind dumb stupid move.

@Blender who's next? Palantir? Maybe Northrop Grumman?
