Highly educated idiots.

@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.
@gruni @Blender @blogdiva And many of the authors they stole from (like me) won't see any of the payout because the standard to prove copyright in the class is lower than it would have been had I sued an individual plagiarizer. They just get to have my work for free.
I hope as a large company you enjoy it. I will die broke.

Blender Foundation’s mission remains to empower artists with free/open source technology and tools.
Nothing is as empowering for artist quite like being happy to get a donation from a company that specialise in Generated AI and is infamous for stealing peoples' art and their work.

@Blender Tangent Animation alum here. I have no problem with this, the AIbros have all the money and you need as much money as you can get, and I do believe your lawyers are smart enough to make sure they can't use this to lever in some slop.
Hell, maybe they could even help you train up a tight, local LLM that could act as a built-in natural language tutor that knows the entire data structure. Be the first 3D app that teaches itself to the user on modest hardware.
I am a despiser of these hucksters, but take that money and use it well.

@Blender boooo

Note: partially reworded the social media announcement so it sounds less tone-deaf about the controversial nature of the membership.
@Blender I'm angry at what you are doing.
I do not care if your announcement post of your shitty decision is tone-deaf or a perfect PR move. It does not change that you are doing something truly, deeply shitty, and no amount of fancy rhetoric will change my mind.
Change your behaviour, not your wording.

@Blender I don’t think this is wise.

@Blender are you out of your fucking mind?

@art_codesmith
1. It's a donation
2. I expected a concerned/negative response like for other corporate memberships in the past, hence we try to make it very clear that this is just a donation. This is quite intense.@fsiddi @art_codesmith this is intense for a reason. You took money from a company that helped kill over a hundred children 2 months ago.
Killed. Children.
And you took their money.
And now you wonder why people are telling you to fuck off…
Blender is now associated with war crimes. I hope accepting the donation was worth it.

@Blender Absolute worthlessness. I hope you're happy now that you've nuked your userbase.
