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

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 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.

@Blender nooooooooo !!!!!

[agersant@mastodon.gamedev.place]

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

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.

Congratulations. You just ruined your reputation with that step. I will never touch your software again. Whats next , do you sell MAGA hats?

@Blender freedom is more precious than growth or fast shipping of releases. Community is watching you Blender Foundation.

@Blender this is awful news

[rataunderground@neopaquita.es]

@Blender Do you really need to tarnish Blender’s (until now, spotless) reputation with this move? Not a single one of your users is going to be happy with this decision.
