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
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.

@Blender We did. It still sucks. This is a TERRIBLE look for the project. Anthropic and the whole "AI" project in general has been nothing but destructive to anything it touches. They're taking OUR creations, whether it be 3D models, drawings, music, writing, code, you name it WITHOUT PERMISSION and then try to sell us back a slopified, soulless version of it. Everyone has receipts! How is this not getting through?!

@Blender That sounds like a horrible idea. Even if Anthropic doesn't get any influence, this is a massive blow to your public image.

@Blender this doesn't make it any better. This company feeds on the visual and engineering creativity of your users and developers. Why would you take money from a company that is by design non-ethical?
