      @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?

                @Blender Yes, the problem is definitely the tone.

                  @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.

                  @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 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.

                                  @Blender I don't usually throw my word around lightly, but as much as your fund policy states "Corporate donations don't imply alignment with their missions", this is a huge PR own-goal that will cost you a lot more in the long run.

                                  I hope you reconsider your decision, because I personally (as an outsider) don't think it is worth it.

                                      @Blender BWAHAHA "less tone-deaf" . So you acknowledge that even your re-word is still tone deaf. Thanks for helping to destroy our online world at the same time these clowns burn our actual world. Ffs.

                                        @Blender "Yeah, let's take money from one of the most unethical company there is..."
                                        I was trying to find a way to use Blender in my FabLab, well I guess that's off the table now.
                                        Come on, get a hold of yourself !

                                          @Blender Uh... This seems unwise.
