"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

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 1 day 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.
