@Un1cornHuntrSam Moron is choosing between two coffee machines. Machine 1 lets you press a button and get a latte. Machine 2 lets you say, "I want a latte," and charges you $200 a month while collecting all your data before producing a cappuccino. Moron: "At least I didn't need to use my hands."

Person shows you a new coffee machine that can make any coffee you want. To demonstrate he makes a simple latte. Moron goes : "Ugh you need a machine to pour coffee into a cup, I can do it with my hands !"

@hrgiger44 @Blender @AnthropicAI I love Blender, and I hope you are right that the software and its user-base will not be pimped out like a bitch. I do think the timing leads to some justifiable concern about the influence this funding could have on future decisions regardless of what rules exist internally.

@SquinkTV @Blender @AnthropicAI You mean an addon like the hundreds of addons added to Blender on a daily basis without the need for a donation? An addon that has nothing to do with the Blender Foundation?

Welcome @anthropicai as a Corporate Patron sponsor of the Blender Foundation’s Development Fund! This support will be dedicated towards general Blender core development. More details at blender.org/press/anthropi… #b3d #DevFund

@KIRI_Engine_App Hmm... strange edit. Why does the side panel get cropped out in the second half of the video?

Tested Claude + Blender today with two real workflows. Sharing what actually happened. First one was a simple demo. Gave it one sentence to build a cyberpunk room. Geometry, lighting, camera, render. It got there, though not everything in the prompt landed perfectly. Good enough to show the concept, not a stress test. Second one was more interesting. Threw a raw photogrammetry scan at it. Massey Ferguson tractor, 250k faces, grass background everywhere, debris floating all over the place. Asked Claude to clean it up autonomously. It did the work. Removed 106 floating chunks, cut face count by 87%, stripped the grass, flipped the model upright, set up studio lighting and rendered. Technically it worked. But honest answer: the result wasn't clean enough for production. This kind of cleanup still needs the right tools and someone who knows what they're doing. So here's where it actually fits. Not the precise technical stuff. The setup work. The repetitive stuff. The things that take forever if you don't already know Blender. It won't replace your 3D artist. It replaces the boring part before they start.

@hrgiger44 @Blender @AnthropicAI A company known for scooping up and laundering data suddenly takes an interest in open-source software (in a particularly difficult to crack industry). The same day, said company releases a new "assistant" that scans and documents files in real time. I'm sure its nothing.

@SquinkTV @Blender @AnthropicAI People need to chill out. This is 240k for Blender development. This doesn't affect how Blender is developed nor does a donation give any access to Blender itself...

@ToshiCG @Blender @AnthropicAI "Just hand over the data bro."

@SquinkTV @Blender @AnthropicAI It might also be a good time to chill a bit! :)

@KIRI_Engine_App Surprised you qualified the first attempt as a success. considering most of the prompt was ignored. Obviously, as people feed the machine it will improve, but I would find it hard to justify the token cost for something this simple. Also, this is insane ⬇️

@ix_lemon @Blender @AnthropicAI From my understanding this would prevent unwanted version updates and addons that use the update feature. But you are correct, to prevent all access you would need a firewall.

@SquinkTV @Blender @AnthropicAI All this feature does is allow access to the extensions platform, you're essentially doing nothing here

@ryanvogel @ianzelbo Then you use Blender's built-in search feature and type in "link materials" or "transfer materials" or just "materials" and a result pops up that lets you link the materials.

@ianzelbo What if you didn’t know how to do it

@bazildesigns Now you can spend $200/month to automate what the F3 key already did! Innovative!

That awkward moment when all the AI bros are celebrating, saying 3d is getting easier, when the example shows someone writing a whole sentence, waiting for it to load, to do something that's a single hotkey (Ctrl L) 🙄

@thorn_neverwake @Blender @AnthropicAI Good point! Probably a good idea to enable a firewall as well.

@SquinkTV @Blender @AnthropicAI Fun fact: That checkbox doesn't prevent addons from accessing anything online, if they wish to do so.

@Blender @AnthropicAI Blender 6.0 out now! New features include: Always Online Mode, Project Scanning (beta), Biometric Login and more!

@onlyangeleclerc Libel. False endorsement. "All my friends are Dodgers fans. When they saw a generated picture of my son allegedly wearing a Giants jersey it seriously damaged our reputation in the community. He was ridiculed mercilessly and we are no longer invited to the family BBQ."

using AI to generate dodger fans and adding little kids into this too? ew

@the_fartasy @Srirachachau To put this in household budget terms, this is like ripping up and down the street in a newly purchased go cart after borrowing 10 million dollars from the mob.

@Srirachachau to put in household budget terms vs how much money openai has, this is like if you spent one seventh of one cent every day on your dream passion project

lol 1 MILLION a day???

Banned Laundry Commercial

BACK AT IT! Putting the finishing touches on an all new commercial parody. THIS THURSDAY 🧸🧸

@george_rinyu_jr @glindaupland It is GAI. One of the primary uses is to generate missing shots and backgrounds. It was very likely "trained" on others work and seems no different than any other model outside of the carefully worded press release.

@glindaupland The day people learn that not all AI is generative AI maybe we can finally move forward as a society

f*ck AI and f*ck ben affleck

@SpongeBobFanAlt Thats pretty crazy! Never saw the reaction vid before, had to look it up. Thanks for showing it off 😃

@SpongeBobFanAlt @DrClownPhD Hey, thank you for the tag! 😃

@DrClownPhD Fun fact: Original was made by @SquinkTV.

Bro! 💀

@LUCHADORFR63491 Appreciate it bro!

Squink is great mane
