The problem is the ORIGIN of the money.
There must be an ethic about who is accepted as a patron.

@Blender@mastodon.social I know @tonroosendaal@mstdn.social is not anymore the head of Blender. But I expect he has something to say against this. I never expected than a LIE like this: "Anthropic is an AI research and development company that creates reliable, interpretable, and steerable AI systems." will be published on Blenders web site. Long thread about Claude source code: https://neuromatch.social/@jonny/116324676116121930 AI DOESN'T work. Is a con machine that enlarges inequality in the world. It's an earthquake affecting the lives of thousands of workers forced to use this stochastic parrots to produce code that doesn't work. Even their own code is sub par. Workers fired after train this failed machine. The usage of natural resources for datacenters on strained areas, or the raise of electricity bills for the datacenters to run this monsters is well reported. Along the ill effects on health of residents of nearby datacenters. Not to mention Anthropic is on trial for STEALING materials to training Claude. https://m.independent.ie/business/world/anthropic-faces-trial-over-downloads-used-to-train-its-ai/a1928954643.html https://www.authorsalliance.org/2025/07/26/bartz-v-anthropic-what-are-some-additional-takeaways-and-where-do-things-go-from-here/ EDIT: Added link with current information about the Anthropic case. Anthropic is raising their token prices. Idiotic employees are paying from their own pockets this tokens when the ones bought by their employeers companies (that spent thousands of euros into this fucked technology) ran out, so they can keep running prompts and not lose their jobs. Blender users must reject this. The whole planet is at risk with the demeanors and illegalities of this AI companies. This is like accepting money from the nazi party, the mafia, Russia, Donald Trump and Israel, all combined. 🤬🤬🤬 #b3d #ai #aislop #anthropic #fund

@Blender I did. Accepting money from a plagiarism-as-a-service company is still overwhelmingly disrespectful to artists. Your policies do not make this okay, Anthropic has no place in any community that even pretends to care about artists and creatives. Whoever approved this should still be fired.

@Blender Given the fact that Antropic and other LLM peddling companies are an existential threat to the human creative industries, programmers, and human life in general.
Accepting money from such a scummy corporation is an out of touch move!
I don't plan on using Blender anymore, ya'll are on my unsafe software list.

@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.
@riidom @barrionomia @UkeleleEric @eden @Blender exactly. This isn't a Google mozilla situation

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