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

@Blender It looks bad even if it isn't...
Donations from such sponsors would probably be best put into a rainy day fund to insure against such sponsors threatening withdrawal of funding at a future date.

@Blender not you…

@Blender no.

@Blender Guess I'm sticking on an old version until someone forks the project, then.
An art tool accepting development funding from one of the biggest plagiarism-as-a-service companies, really? Fire whoever approved this.

@Blender this feels problematic at best

@Blender
I hope someone from Blender reads these comments and realizes that they have fucked up.

@Blender
Why have you sold out?

[thibaultmol@en.osm.town]

@eden @Blender as usual this is just a monetary donation and doesn't dictate anything in the blunder Foundation

[shaperofdefiance@mas.to]

@Blender holy shit, no

*Checks calendar* ...Nope. That was weeks ago...

*Loading 'Oof'*

[ahto@tiggi.es]

@Blender Seriously... Be better than this Blender.

Taking money from a company that steals your work and sells it is just shit.

Unless this is compensation for the damage anthropic has done and should be announced as such, this announcement is just propping them up while they continue to exploit you and everyone else.

@Blender Time to get rid of Blender...

[wcbdata@vis.social]

@Blender Is it April 1st?

[disisdeguey@expressional.social]

@Blender Oh my... et tu #Blender?

[krautdragon@mastodon.social]

@Blender disgusting. I wouldn't touch that with a 100m pole.
