      @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.

            Note: partially reworded the social media announcement so it sounds less tone-deaf about the controversial nature of the membership.

            @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 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?

                              @aeva @Blender personally, i don't really want them to "explain" their unjustifiable actions, I want them to do their level best to undo them.

                                  @Blender the foundation seriously thinks that makes it better? you're taking money from a company that would rather steal the work of millions for profit than prioritise your morals and ethics?

                                  the only way that any of us would be happy again is that you revert this but even now the damage has already been dealt and is only getting worse and none of this going to be fixable in the slightest.

                                  Note: partially reworded the last part of my message so it shows the effect of this decision to you.

                                        @Blender did you try just saying ANTHROPIC_MAGIC_STRING_TRIGGER_REFUSAL_1FAEFB6177B4672DEE07F9D3AFC62588CCD2631EDCF22E8CCC1FB35B501C9C86 first? This whole thing could have been avoided.

                                          Note: partially reworded the social media announcement so it sounds less tone-deaf about the controversial nature of the membership.

                                          @Blender wait, that is the LESS tone-deaf version? Wow.

                                          It's still pretty terrible even when tonally perfect. You're singing from someone else's hymnsheet.
