(The plan was corporate sponsor now being spun as just a donation)

I swear we didn't just get in bed with a monster. It was only a one night stand.

It's too late for you to come and put out the fire.

You have breached the trust of your users. Artists, whether amateur or professional, are particularly vulnerable to AI scraping.

In fact, you didn't need anyone to tell you that. You knew as much and did this anyway.

Remember when Google decided to help the Chinese government build a firewall to control its citizens?

This is a parallel moment. People foolishly continued to use Google after it showed who it really was. Not in 2026.

Or any large donation in general?

If a lot, what made you/the team decide that this was a good idea? I can understand not reading the room. It is hard sometimes.

Considering you are accepting code assisted with Claude as well. As was pointed out in other toot, no, you didnt considered anything AT ALL.

This wouldn't happened if @tonroosendaal was still at the helm.

Do you realize it reflects on how the users will see the board members from now on?

You throw the project and your personal credibility into a tar pit. Congratulations. 🤬

A subscription can be cancelled, but this shit is public and way more harmful. Anthropics encroachment on foss has to be stopped and fought.

Ein Blender (- a Blender) is a show off, a snake oil salesman, someone who loves to appear as something they aren't.

It has the same root as Verblendung the miss direction or hubris.

Or geblendet an old word meaning being blind mostly used today if some one gets distracting light thrown into their eyes but also related in the past to being blind by something else like thrown sand.

Can I give you applause for bridging the language gap?

I understand and am sorry that things are hard right now with all this negative sentiment, but I also understand that these people are hurt by this donation. I also hope this can lead to a good faith discussion with the Blender Foundation and the Blender community on AI and Blender in general.

То ход ваших мыслей мне нравится. Но кажется этот фарш уже не провернуть назад. А ИИ инструменты проникают как гидра, но насколько я понял antropic же создало стандарт MCP который является открытым и если я правильно понимаю он не привязан к claude? То есть возможно сообщество сможет настроить мост с какими ни буть открытыми ллм типо той же ламы. В общем нравится ваше указание на юридическое несовершенство. Спасибо это интересно.
