Welcome Anthropic as a Corporate Patron sponsor of the Blender Foundation’s Development Fund!

[keeya@icy.arcticfluff.eu]

@Blender Uh so, you are taking money from a company that enables war crimes, destroys our planet, destroys our society and steals from the very ppl that made blender successful, the art community?

No matter how it's "worded", this should be declined and Antropic be told to… to put it politely to just go away. So if Palantir comes waving with money, you'd accept that as well?

[fsiddi@mstdn.social]

All right, Francesco here - CEO at Blender. I'm going to spend some time to try and respond. If you have direct questions or comments, reply here!

@Blender
you cant weaselword out of this. Its not the wording thats disgusting, its the fact of taking money from an entity thats harmfull to any creative person, or democratic or antifasistic.

[greg@icosahedron.website]

@fsiddi what's in it for Anthropic?

[cryptica@wireframe.icosahedron.network]

@Blender

~~Give the money back.

Apologize to your users.~~

Never mind, they're already vibe-coding blender now

And related to this, #Blender already has Claude slop commits. It's all fucked, Blender went dark. https://github.com/blender/blender/commit/336b5d0de12a438614846961b7961bbf35399eb3 https://github.com/blender/blender/commit/79e02e1405a98884cc8fd5505cc54df2c2dc5d21 https://github.com/blender/blender/commit/7ee94c067cf71845727672ed77dc25f088cd5b32 Not to mention one user has specifically admitted to using AI code review for commits that are in Blender's codebase. https://github.com/blender/blender/commit/b80b3e040dd3ac979e97540b4bb0f18a1c5ad021 https://github.com/blender/blender/commit/eaadb0c3043288d78b897b15bcc8d336c749de15 #NoAI #FuckAI #AntiAI #Tech #Technology #Animation #3DAnimation #Claude

I hope the money was worth it, you fuckin ghouls.

[faraiwe@mstdn.social]

@Blender OOOPH

Really, guys?

Foot, mouth much?

Anthropic? Satan was NOT available, is that it?

[stonykark@mstdn.ca]

@domo @Blender blender, the 3D software maker, kills children.

[clouderst@abc.clouderst.xyz]

@4censord @Blender well as long as blender doesn't become a microsoft-like app i guess it's only fair anthropic started giving back to all the creators that they stole data from for claude

[julianh@mas.to]

@Blender Did @tonroosendaal approve this shit? What the fuck guys, seriously.

[fsiddi@mstdn.social]

@keeya this applies to most large corporate dev fund members. We take donations to pursue Blender's mission. Individual donations is what helps to keep the balance.

[kookie@chaosfem.tw]

@Blender Just please don't add AI slop into Blender

[jonizulo@beige.party]

@Blender This is such a bad idea. could none of you see that accepting something like this would cause immense backlash from people who are very negatively affected by these huge AI companies?? I think probably everyone here demands that you reconsider your decision unless you wanna destroy your reputation.

[evanby@mstdn.social]

@Blender Well that’s nice of them to “offer support”. Asked yourselves what *their* motivation might be?

[noel@ice.00ffff.eu]

@Blender Oof, that one hurts...

[seyfr@mastodon.social]

@raritastic @Blender maybe a future fork ?

[tael@yiff.life]

@Blender Raytheon next?

[piergi@berlin.social]

@Blender @tonroosendaal
It is a sad day. It feels like being stabbed in the back.

[domo@pizza.enby.city]

@thibaultmol @dannotdaniel @UkeleleEric @eden @Blender but you're sitting here and defending that it's "just a monetary donation". Fam, Claude code is used to kill children, an entire school of children. Why in the world are you out here defending this donation and then using your clout as a FOSDEM member to back it up? What do you think you're helping? Delete or update your comments and be better. No one needs more random white guys coming in to say "gold is gold". That's nazi shit.

[scremlin@pizza.enby.city]

@Blender this is shameful

[normjess@tech.lgbt]

@Blender anyone know any alternatives to Blender now they are AI humping assholes who teamed up with people who stole people's work?
