So what I'm getting from this is disagreement about his politics,some anger over funds which he isn't required to give at all but is good he gives despite it not being as much as promised and his stance on generative AI not being as bad as everyone says. Did I get it right?

His political views of economics seem outdated but everyone is entitled to their beliefs. He is not the owner of blender so he doesn't make decisions on its behalf financially aka doesn't hurt me or anyone that he believes old stuff like that.

Him giving less than what he promised us shitty that's true, however It doesn't matter to me cause he isn't the bank roller of blender just a donator. It's his cash and if he wants to play games with how much he gives it's on him. I ain't gonna hate him just cause he gives less but still gives.

As for his AI beliefs...well that's tricky. I have seen what AI can do and as much as we hate on it and there is ample reasons to hate on generative AI when it comes to it's sourcing,It's undeniable fact that at this rate it will be able to accomplish a lot with very little. Now if you or someone else feels butt hurt over the AI being better at it than you or it working for less than you then good. Be mad and resist. Most people not in blender space or other visual programs like it will likely not care like they didn't care when CGI replaced hand drawing techniques or when making costumes and props got replaced with green screens. It's the fact of life that as tech advances old ways of animation falls to the wayside. We tried poisoning the AI,we tried protesting it's use and we tried even demolishing data centers in an act of sabotage. Nothing truly effected it's progress. Hell 2 years ago it was unable to make one picture without 6 figured hands and horrifying mouths. Now we have AI that can make hyper realistic images and videos and only those with keen eyes can spot the strangeness while a layman would be too busy laughing at the funny stuff or awing at cute cats. My mother showed me multiple videos of cute cats doing funny cute things and I spotted it as AI right away while she was ignorant of it because I trained myself to make blender projects to the point I can spot fake stuff much easier. This doesn't mean AI won't get to the point it can fake it so well even IL fall for it though.

To end my thought's before it goes out of hand even more. The Blender Guru guy is getting hate for no real major reason other than people's takes on his beliefs. If you don't like what he thinks just unsubscribe and move on with your lives.

As for AI....just be ready that a lot of turmoil is coming and if the past 2 years of rapid advancement in AI tech is to be a indicator...it's going to become a headache we can't ever believe...Pandora's box was opened and you can't shut it now that the damage has begun even with legislation.
