I think you missed my point - up until Anthropic decides there's a pressing need to replace them to furnish their wallets, the awesome people who create incredible art using Blender have learned how to use the tool and use it to convert their imagination into something we can all see.

I think you missed my point completely - I am not attacking Blender, I'm attacking the Anthropic. You think Dario woke up this morning and just felt like doing charity? Or do you think there's an underlying business reason for getting into this space? If you believe they're doing it because they're lovely people I'm afraid we'll disagree about that.

Maybe it is a pointless fight with an inevitable end but at least I'll die with my humanity and dignity intact rather than being a boot licker for Sam Altman, but you do you.

Yes but those numbers get there through human creativity, they don't generate themselves.

Business doesn't need to go to the big 3, but it will. The big companies will ensure that smaller, specialised or open models get restricted by laws paid for by their lobbying budgets, so that they can pull up the ladder after them and solidify their position. They've invested billions and will never allow the world become some tech utopia where we all have a personalised free AI in our pocket, they will guarantee their own dominance.

Difference is that those tools modernised the work and actually created jobs. The ultimate aim of these AI sociopaths is to remove all work in all areas so they can hoover up all the money and let people starve.

I get paid a decent salary for my expertise and this wild thing called remembering what happened yesterday. My point is my compute is powered by bananas and coffee, not gigawatts of energy and all of the RAM.

It's humorous to me that I can do the work of an AI with nothing but a coffee and an occasional sandwich and yet they talk about AI as if it's some sort of magic hack to productivity.

What they don't like is paying money for the work, that's all that matters to them.

> "No data goes to Anthropic from Blender."

You know, for now...

Wasn't this one called "machine learning" for denoising and upscaling? That's completely different from an LLM replacing your job (after being trained on your work without permission).

They love art so much they want to take the humanity out of it. The funny thing is these sociopaths at the AI companies can't even comprehend something that cannot be quantified in a spreadsheet.

So reducing budgets and suppressing wages then, what a great deal for the workers who have specialised in this field and who's work and effort the LLM has been trained on to replace them!
