"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.

Francesco Siddi, CEO at Blender

FOSS users:

Big tech leeches off FOSS and never gives back!

Also FOSS users:

These big tech companies should stay out of our favorite projects, thei money is poison!

And this is why we can't have nice things.

Well yeah, capitalists playbook.

Give money to thing, people who do thing are grateful but wary. People who do thing are able to do more thing with the money and become reliant on the money, then corporation starts putting the lean on them to push agenda while threatening to pull funding that the thing needs now.

[–] vane@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

They support well established projects and foundations that broke the corporate glass to push their agenda on those projects but not single user projects that they use in their closed source software.
