May 1, 2026, 8:15 PM@lynndotpy @Blender do you want Blender to be a less capable tool for millions of people just so you can feel a bit more righteous?

The rest of us will do as we please without some blathering about inferiority complexes guiding our lives.
lynnlynndotpy@mastodon.socialMay 2, 2026, 12:43 AM@aronkvh Please express your rhetoric more literally, and in the form of statements and not as a rhetorical question. Your reply seems like a non-sequitur to mine and I don't understand what you're really trying to say.
Diana Probst, Cambridge Artistdianaprobst@mastodon.artMay 2, 2026, 7:12 AM@aronkvh @lynndotpy @Blender If the only reason your tool works is theft, then why are you using that tool? Millions of people committing IP theft is worse than nobody doing it, not better.

@dianaprobst I'm talking about Meta's funding from the other comment. In Anthropic's case I can see the point since people don't like them and they want to buy social acceptance through Blender, and that can still be avoided. But for most companies donating to open source, the alternative is that Blender gets less funding (->"becomes a less useful tool fool millions of people") and the big company pays another big tech company instead.

@aronkvh *sigh*
It'd be great if the world valued different things, huh? "This big company is slightly less bad than that big company," is a bad choice to have to make.

@aronkvh I am not advocating for Blender to reject either Meta or Anthropic's funding.
I am saying that Meta has much more blood on their hands.
I don't agree with a position that sees Anthropic (an evil company) as less objectionable than Meta. Meta has inflicted orders of magnitude more harm on people than Anthropic has.
Even if someone can excuse genocide, fascism, etc. and only cares about opposing AI, Meta is a larger AI company than Anthropic.
