      ~~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.

          @Blender Anthropic is a defense contractor and works with the US Government and Palantir to do some absolutely horrific shit. Claude Code was recently used to bomb a little girl's school.

          That's just the tip of the ice berg. Anthropic is a really horrible company with no ethics:

            @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

                @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?

                @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.

                    @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.

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

                                @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.

                                        @Blender even if this does not give anthropic any control over blender, the messaging is tone deaf, especially on the fediverse. If you're going to accept money from a company as toxic as Anthropic, the announcement needs to at the very least critique them, not blandly heap praise for the donation. Community trust is hard to win and easy to lose, so I would think hard about the message this post is sending to your community.

                                        @desttinghim I try to keep messaging consistent and not cater to specific audiences. That would be misleading. Criticizing Anthropic is not going to help, what we actually do with the funding matters.
