@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.

@Blender please don't do that. That is just a cold death grip of this grifter company ...

@Blender When your announcement has to come with a disclaimer, it certainly raises eyebrows. I don't know that taking money from a massive intellectual property theft ring is a good look.

@Blender @tonroosendaal ... why?

@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
@barrionomia @thibaultmol @UkeleleEric @eden @Blender
If management not very bright to became fully dependant on one source, then yes, but except Mozilla I can't see other examples like this, so not very likely. -

I just want to adress points 1 & 2 here:
They have just too many sponsors to be dependant on a single one. Even if it's from the highest tier, as in this case. The money basically pays 2 full-time salaries.

@Blender Anthropic built Claude, the AI used by Palantir.
Take their dirty, bloody money. I dont want to support technofascism. So... I won't need Blender anymore. -

@Blender I sure hope you have fun, "...pursuing projects independently, and to focus on building tools..." without a user-base.
