Sadly so and it is the people who don't even fund open source projects.

Yep. Anthropic's motives are obviously self-interested (Cluade <-> Blender integration), but I'm not donating to Blender, are you? That's the problem, we all want Blender to be able to pick and choose donations, but when all OSS is cash-strapped, it is easier said than done.

I'd prefer Blender get some additional funding out of this AI bubble at least.

Exactly right. Everyone online is all to happy to proclaim what hill other people should die on, but is rarely willing to go up there themselves.

		This inspired me to send them something, and I noticed that they have an activity feed for donations at https://fund.blender.org it seems pretty active, albeit small donations at a time.
