"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

I may just be being overly cynical, but once big corporations start giving money to these kinds of things, it's not a big stretch for them to start influencing things in their favour for their money. I hope I'm wrong.
I hope you're wrong too!
I believe projects are not all the same. Some projects might be quick to bend the knee, but others would never.
Depends how the Blender team works I guess :)
It is FOSS, so if it takes a turn to the worse I am sure they will be forked quickly ๐
ooh-err Missus!
Bro how do you think Blender has been getting money all this time?
I haven't really been keeping abreast of the situation. I'm only going by a gut reaction to this article. I'm happy to be proven wrong about this.
They are sponsored by major corps like nvidia, meta,amd. Despite this they've continued to put out a good Foss product. I think they'll resist undue influence from antropic.
But I do think they'll integrate ai inas they're working on that at the moment.
Fucking disappointing as hell, Blender has so much potential and getting side tracked into useless AI crap will be a massive drain on productivity and improvement on the core Blender software.
