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 is the other reason Blender should steer clear of Anthropic.
AI is a bullshit industry that isn’t profitable and it is all going to collapse sooner or later, Blender should pursue sponsors that are actual profitable businesses that will be around in 5 years.
