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

You'd think so, but from what I've personally heard at least... Anthropic seems to mostly be doing right by the community with their contributions like this. I could be falling for the propaganda, but guys are even backing groups pushing for stronger AI guardrails and oversight.

    I'd guess they want restrictions because they want to stay on top? (and keep everyone else down)

    Too late, I have an AI running on a server at home. I love it like that... My know it all bitch. The other way around with only a handful of companies holding all the knowledge is totally crazy.
