I know @tonroosendaal is not anymore the head of Blender. But I expect he has something to say against this.
I never expected than a LIE like this:
"Anthropic is an AI research and development company that creates reliable, interpretable, and steerable AI systems."
will be published on Blenders web site.
Long thread about Claude source code:
https://neuromatch.social/@jonny/116324676116121930
AI DOESN'T work. Is a con machine that enlarges inequality in the world. It's an earthquake affecting the lives of thousands of workers forced to use this stochastic parrots to produce code that doesn't work. Even their own code is sub par. Workers fired after train this failed machine.
The usage of natural resources for datacenters on strained areas, or the raise of electricity bills for the datacenters to run this monsters is well reported. Along the ill effects on health of residents of nearby datacenters.
Not to mention Anthropic is on trial for STEALING materials to training Claude.
EDIT: Added link with current information about the Anthropic case.
Anthropic is raising their token prices.
Idiotic employees are paying from their own pockets this tokens when the ones bought by their employeers companies (that spent thousands of euros into this fucked technology) ran out, so they can keep running prompts and not lose their jobs.
Blender users must reject this. The whole planet is at risk with the demeanors and illegalities of this AI companies.
This is like accepting money from the nazi party, the mafia, Russia, Donald Trump and Israel, all combined. 🤬🤬🤬

@Blender you guys... I have been financially supporting you for like 15 years, and I help run the SLC Blender User Group to promote free and open tools for everyone. Reading this breaks my heart. As an artist who's art has been stolen by this plagiarism machine, and as a coder who's code has been stolen by this plagiarism machine, this feels like a pretty hard slap in the face. Your community doesn't want you taking dirty money like this from unethical tech bros. Please reconsider.
ALL OF THIS

@thibaultmol @UkeleleEric @eden @Blender
even if that's true, it's not an endorsement that the user community wants to see.
just read the room

@thibaultmol @eden @Blender I have doubts about the generous heart of AI vultures. These dude's donating towards creatives / creative software without an agenda?
@krautdragon @thibaultmol @eden @Blender
the agenda might very well just be paid advertising (which this already is - look at that terribly positive and uncritical description - right after talking about "divisive times" ffs)
I can only hope that it doesn't pay off for them and blender got a bag that warrants this blunder

@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:

@Blender@mastodon.social I'm appalled by this decision. What the hell. Do /any/ of you know what that company is doing to the world??

@thibaultmol @UkeleleEric @eden @Blender
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
