@Blender
Sind die ein bisschen doof? -
Unsurprisingly, some have expressed a similar sentiment in a slightly more coherent and grown-up way(!)

@Blender : Well, it is not good news. I hope you will not hire the Firefox CEO too......

@thibaultmol @eden @Blender I have doubts about the generous heart of AI vultures. These dude's donating towards creatives / creative software without an agenda?
@krautdragon @eden @Blender for a company of that size it is literally peanuts and in return they get to put their logo next to other fancy logos
There's really not that much more to it -
@thibaultmol @UkeleleEric @eden @Blender
even if that's true, it's not an endorsement that the user community wants to see.
just read the room
@dannotdaniel @UkeleleEric @eden @Blender that is a fair point, and I'm not disputing that

@Blender Anthropic is a defense contractor and works with the US Government and Palentir to do some absolutely horrific shit. Claudecode was recently used to bomb a little girl's school.
That's just the tip of the ice berg. Anthropic is a really horrible company with no ethics:

@Blender@mastodon.social I'm appalled by this decision. What the hell. Do /any/ of you know what that company is doing to the world??

@UkeleleEric @eden @Blender what? it's not a scam. They send the money to your account and you put their logo on your site. that's it.
As a FOSDEM staff member, I can tell you it's the same thing there. They don't get to dictate anything@thibaultmol @UkeleleEric @eden @Blender
Step1. They send a big loave of cash
Step2. That cash becomes important to your anual budget
Step3. 2-3 years on, they subtly pass the message about their preferences regarding future projects, road mapping, et al (or else funding "could" be "thought about")
Step4. The coin drops in your brain
Step5. You've been taken over and your current working model is fucked (if not the whole endeavour)But probably I'm just being paranoid. It ain't as if... wait

@Blender Mixed feelings here.
On one side: more money for Blender is good.
On the other side: Anthropic is very much not friend-shaped.

@Blender@mastodon.social Regardless of how little influence anthropic will have, just taking their money is NOT a good move for a creative software

@Blender Please don't add a SINGLE ai-slop feature in the product. No one wants AI.
