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.

I'd guess they want restrictions because they want to stay on top? (and keep everyone else down)

The media is pushing that as a solid theory and it's not crazy. What's bad for openai is good for anthropic / etc, but there are a lot of places they could be putting that money that would benefit them more directly.

Too late, I have an AI running on a server at home. I love it like that... My know it all bitch. The other way around with only a handful of companies holding all the knowledge is totally crazy.
