@Blender@mastodon.social Regardless of how little influence anthropic will have, just taking their money is NOT a good move for a creative software

Step1. They send a big loave of cash
Step2. That cash becomes important to your anual budget
Step3. 2-3 years on, they subtly pass the message about their preferences regarding future projects, road mapping, et al (or else funding "could" be "thought about")
Step4. The coin drops in your brain
Step5. You've been taken over and your current working model is fucked (if not the whole endeavour)But probably I'm just being paranoid. It ain't as if... wait

If management not very bright to became fully dependant on one source, then yes, but except Mozilla I can't see other examples like this, so not very likely. -

I just want to adress points 1 & 2 here:
They have just too many sponsors to be dependant on a single one. Even if it's from the highest tier, as in this case. The money basically pays 2 full-time salaries.

@Blender We did. It still sucks. This is a TERRIBLE look for the project. Anthropic and the whole "AI" project in general has been nothing but destructive to anything it touches. They're taking OUR creations, whether it be 3D models, drawings, music, writing, code, you name it WITHOUT PERMISSION and then try to sell us back a slopified, soulless version of it. Everyone has receipts! How is this not getting through?!
