Welcome Anthropic as a Corporate Patron sponsor of the Blender Foundation’s…

@Blender Thanks, I hate it! 🤮

@Blender taking dirty money now, are we?

@Blender Accepting money from Anthropic is accepting blood money so Anthropic can launder their image. They’re, please forgive my crassness, shitting on artists, ripping them off, and produce the artistic equivalent of toxic sludge.

@Blender what the fuck? Why would you do this? Do you actively hate your user base and decided you wanted to partner with someone that will cost you a lot of support and good will?

Like, did no one think this would look horrible? Are you all that out of touch?

@Blender Et tu, Brute?

@Blender

@Blender Read the room, nobody wants this.

@Blender are you out of your fucking mind?

@Blender
Oh my God, no.

@Blender well this fucking sucks 💩

@Blender Give the money back you fucking traitors

@Blender Boo!

@Blender you should be ashamed.
Of course I uninstalled your software.

@Blender Fuck. No.

@Blender I almost choked on my köttfärssås.

WHAT?!?!

@Blender

Welp, alright then.

@Blender New Right now, for Blender, a community of artists who often see all sorts of ethical issues in AI, for obvious reasons, as Ton has pointed out many times, and with the newer, younger management, this choice definitely looks controversial. It’s a bit like a charity that helps crime victims taking money from Al Capone. I get the guidelines, but this is more of an ethical matter. That said, AI also has positive sides and won’t be able to be ignored forever.

@Blender cmon fuck off

@Blender So, who turned them down? In looking for a new tool now that blender will be turned to shit.

@Blender
Terrible idea Blender. What are you thinking?
