@gamingonlinux I don't know how I feel about this.

[filipedireito@mastodon.social]

@gamingonlinux they’ll get it back from people coding for the Blender API.

@gamingonlinux yo @Blender what the fuck?!

@gamingonlinux enshittification incoming

[vilelasagna@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@gamingonlinux Well, that can't be good

[dkesserich@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@virtualbri @gamingonlinux yeah...

For the past couple years at the Blender Conference they've been talking about how tight money is, but I feel like there are some companies they should be saying 'thanks but no thanks' to when it comes to accepting money from them. Anthropic is a big one.

@gamingonlinux How can they fund Blender when they can't bloody fund themselves?

[miketestelinuxqlub@qlub.social]

@art_codesmith @gamingonlinux Good question. I think I wont like the answer to that. problably related to an AI shit integration or sealing creativity of people who use this soft. sad.

[italianskeletongaming@mastodon.social]

@gamingonlinux I suspect that it's because Anthropic has an in-development fork of Blender where you prompt an AI agent to create a 3d model in said fork
