Fuck AI

"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.

It’s not like Blender is forced to integrate AI now.

from anthropic’s announcement: "The Blender developers have created an MCP connector, which is now officially available for Claude."

MCP stands for "modern context protocol" and is a tech developed by anthropic for ai integration. in effect, yes, blender is forced to integrate ai. not claude specifically, mind you, but still.

It’s ’model complex protocol’ and you can’t stop people from making them to integrate with software. Basically you can create instructions so that the agent can use other software. I bet even w/o entropic there are already more than one on GitHub.

It blew my mind when I played with the godot mcps for the first time not gonna lie.

Okay, but how bad is that?

It is just an interface, or am i missing something here?

Anthropic has no control over the project.

They sponsored a feature that is still open to anyone to use or not use.

The project is intact for all I can tell?

Think about MCPs as an API for AI. It's just an interface that let's AI do a set of predetermined tasks/configurations. It'll very likely be used for model generation via a prompt

[–] hanke@feddit.nu 0 points 15 hours ago

Yeah, i get the gist of it.

Its just that I don't really see a problem with Blender creating an API.

There are 2 options:

  1. AI will become awesome and take over the world. In this case I don't see how Blender would survive regardless of MCP integration status.
  2. AI will always be shite, Blender devs has implemented a useless API and got a lot of cash to keep developing Blender.

I don't see how this is bad, honestly.
