"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.

Anthropic joins the Blender Development Fund as Corporate Patron (www.blender.org)

In these uncertain and divisive times, we appreciate Anthropic offering support to the Blender project in the form of a Patron-level membership. This enables the Blender team to keep pursuing projects independently, and to focus on building tools for artists and creators.

I wonder if Blender's actually received any actual real money from Anthropic, or if its just like, money hasn't actually changed hands yet.

I know its not uncommon for big open source projects to accept money and sponsorships from corporations, but idk where Anthropic would really get the cash to even do this. AFAIK they're still staying afloat on investor cash and are burning way more money running models than they can realistically charge people to use them.

This is the other reason Blender should steer clear of Anthropic.

AI is a bullshit industry that isn't profitable and it is all going to collapse sooner or later, Blender should pursue sponsors that are actual profitable businesses that will be around in 5 years.
