Note: partially reworded the social media announcement so it sounds less tone-deaf about the controversial nature of the membership.
@Blender It's not the announcement, that's tone-deaf. It's the actual acceptance of dirty money by a bad actor that's tone-deaf.
Just in case you forgot: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c5y4jpg922qo
They paid $1.5bn because they were IRREFUTABLY CAUGHT PIRATING.

@Blender this is a big fail. Really deeply disappointed in Blender as a project and organization for taking blood money like this.

@Blender I have read both and I still don't understand why Blender is accepting financial dependence on a corporation that is actively destroying the open web with scraping, fueling the ongoing slop contribution denial of service attack against foss maintainers, is a major player in the industry that is actively harming digital artists, and numerous other harms; nor do I understand how you expect us not to be angry and heartbroken by this news. Perhaps you could explain it to us.
@Blender This is a company whose technology is actively being used to bomb people randomly. This is one of the companies fueling the demand for overproduction of data centers, which in turn is bringing coal plants back online to meet the electricity demands. They have done so much harm to everybody in this world, I don't think we are going to be able to fully heal from it for decades.

@Blender Trying to making it sound less tone-deaf doesn't make the membership itself less tone-deaf unfortunately.
On the contrary I would say...

@Blender "Hey Claude; how would you f**k up a design tool?"

@Blender The need for multiple clarifications and rewordings should tell you that THIS IS A BAD IDEA.
The only way to save this is to take a clear stance and refuse to ever work with any AI company.

@Blender How about just don't? So few things are sacred anymore, the last thing blender needs is to associate with this crap. How about just not making really shitty decisions and finding a good moral ground? If a burglar ran by you after a robbery and offered you a wad of their spoils to look the other way how would you feel?
