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

@Blender no welcome from me, absolutely no welcome.

[krig@goto.liten.app]

@Blender Enjoy the blood money

@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

[john@vyrse.social]

@Blender I smell AI bullshit

[fiee@literatur.social]

@Blender No, we don’t welcome our fascist AI overlords!

[epickiwi@nerdculture.de]

Don't mess up @Blender Foundation. It's not a first time a big company is "offering" money to buy power on FOSS project. We live in a capitalist world, companies are never giving you money just to help, moreover at this level of funding.

@Blender and that would be it

@Blender

[catraxx@tech.lgbt]

@Blender Excuse me, but what the fuck?

[mrthf@meetiko.org]

@Blender@mastodon.social NO

[gruni@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@Blender
@Blender pulling a massive L and disappointing everyone wasn't on my 2026-bingo.

Fuck Anthropic. And shame on whoever decided against returning this donation from a HIGHLY UNETHICAL entity.

Yes, I understand that this money pays for full-time employees. But I also understand how Anthropic is among the worst offenders when it comes to shitty and unethical practices.

This sour taste will remain irredeemable.

[fanta@mastodon.green]

@Blender nooooooooo !!!!!

[agersant@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@Blender how about telling them to fuck off instead. What a bad look.

@Blender
Da ich schon lange die Blenderentwicklung verfolge, verstehe ich diese Wendung nicht. Seid ihr von jeglichem Verstand verlassen, dass ihr euch auf so einen Mist einlasst. Das beste wäre ein Fork, der erfolgreich ist und der Untergang eures Projekts, dass mit KI sowieso dem Untergang geweiht sein dürfte.
