"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.

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.

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.
