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.

This was never about bots being able to make art, they can't, they can only steal it from humans and throw it into a woodchipper and then try to duct tape it back together.

This was about dehumanizing human artists and I am INCREDIBLY unimpressed by how so many artists have leaned into this dehumanization without any reflection over whether this is actually a future or just a way to permanently reduce the quality of life of digital human artists by culturally associating them with algorithmic robots even though the human output is 1000% more creative.
