Benci korupsi tapi:
1. Manfaatin subscription
2. Manfaatin promo pake 69 akun baru
3. Beli HP bypass IMEI/inter
4. Download film/software bajakan sambil ngomel soal moral
5. Titip absen, titip presensi, titip tanda tangan
6. Markup reimburse receh karena “semua juga gitu”
7. Joki tugas/ujian tapi pengen pejabat bersih
8. Ngambil barang kantor buat dipakai pribadi
9. Pakai software crack sambil dukung anti-pembajakan
“Yang penting gak miliaran” padahal tetap curang

Syarat pendaftaran karyawan:
1. SKCK, tdk pernah dipidana
2. minimal S1
3. maksimal umur 30 thn.
Gaji: 5 juta

Banyak pejabat di Indonesia yg:
1. narapidana
2. lulusan SMA
3. lansia
Gaji: minimal 50 juta (belom termasuk tunjangan)

Pantesan negara gak maju maju

[cozy 🕷️ @cozyaltruis]

Kenapa pemimpin negara boleh lansia, tapi kerja corporate 30an dianggap ngga produktif?

Dan kenapa ngelamar kerja harus pake SKCK? sedangkan banyak pejabat negara aja mantan napi

WATCH OUT INDONESIA.

The US is putting massive pressure on Indonesia right now as part of its desperate plan to contain China.
The goal?

Turn Indonesia into a US client state that helps enforce an extended blockade around the Malacca Strait >> choking off China’s main energy lifeline.

We’re already seeing the signs: a flood of new hit pieces on the Prabowo government popping up everywhere.

Polymarket (that classic US psyop betting tool) is suddenly running projections on regime change.

Western-controlled media outlets are sliding into DMs with Brian Berletic and myself, fishing for angles >> because we were among the few who called out the last color revolution attempt and exposed the Soros/NED funding networks behind the 2025 unrests.

This is coordinated.
There’s a clear plan to destabilize Indonesia and flip it fully into the Western camp.
Don’t be surprised when your feeds (including X) get flooded with more and more negative coverage of the Indonesian government >> “authoritarian,” “corrupt,” “unstable,” the usual script.
Indonesia is too important: biggest Muslim country, strategic geography, resources, and balancing act between powers. The US doesn’t like that independence.
They want control over those sea lanes for any future Taiwan or South China Sea showdown.

Stay vigilant, Indonesia.
Separate real domestic issues from foreign-funded chaos.

The hybrid war playbook is in full swing >> info ops, NGOs, media smears, and political pressure.

Don’t let them turn your country into the next pawn.

Nicko Widjaja (Founding CEO BRI Ventures) baru saja dituntut 11 tahun penjara + denda Rp1 miliar karena menyetujui investasi US$5 juta (~Rp73 miliar) ke startup agritech TaniHub.

Dia dianggap merugikan negara karena startup Tanihub yg diinvest gagal.

Ngeri banget ya? Di dunia VC, risiko itu bagian dari pekerjaan. Ada yang 10x, ada yang gagal total. Itu hukum alam inovasi.

Kalau setiap keputusan investasi yang rugi dianggap “merugikan negara” dan dipenjarakan, siapa lagi yang berani ambil risiko?

Menurut kalian vonisnya fair atau ini termasuk kriminalisasi?

[SLAVO | c g s l a v @slavoartist]

That's the point. That's what people often don't realize: how expensive AI really is. Those people who think that an AI Gen is cheaper than a human and when this turnaround moment comes, when all these AI companies raise their prices by hundreds of dollars for dozens of tokens and all those who think "I'd better change human artist to AI Gen" will be bummed because even a junior artist will be more valuable than use AI because it's really expansive in their core, but they haven't understand that yet.

That's why I'm so calm about all AI Gen noise in the creative field.

Bebaskan Nadiem dan Ibam! Kriminalisasi seperti ini hanya membuat Indonesia semakin tidak aman untuk orang muda!

Hari ini sedih sekali baca narasi techbro vs. guru ramai di sosmed.

Techbro disebut gak napak tanah karena bikin apps yg hanya nambah beban guru 🧵

[Andrew Price @andrewpprice]

@GeorgeCrudo Exactly. Nobody is talking about cancelling support from these AI engaged companies... yet Blender has announced that Anthropic will not be allowed to donate next year, because they're engaged in AI. It's a very inconsistent message.

[Andrew Price @andrewpprice]

Anyone celebrating this needs to remember that Ton Roosendaal was not against AI. He announced the Blender Lab project in 2023 specifically to integrate, among other features, AI.
"If Blender wants to stay relevant, we have to be ready for that... otherwise we might lose it and become obsolete".

[vini @vinimrossi0]

@andrewpprice Honestly, I don’t really understand the concern. If AI truly becomes that impactful for Blender workflows, addons and tools bridging this gap will naturally emerge. But so far, that doesn’t seem to be the case. The future is uncertain, and most AI predictions haven’t come true

[Kaiwan Shaban @itskaiwan]

Sometimes I feel like this community is a pain in the ass. We complain about Blender falling behind, but also push back the moment it tries to move forward with serious backing. If you want it to compete with AI-driven tools, it needs funding and partnerships. Otherwise, at this point we’re just choosing to stay behind and calling it “principles.”

[Alim @almmaasoglu]

Anthropic signs on as blender corporate patron. Artists lose their minds. Blender foundation downgrades it to a one time donation next day.

Meanwhile every major DCC is shipping thousands of ai integrations this year. Screaming at a tide already in the room funny folks really.

[Matt Workman @mattworkman]

about HALF of Blender's donors are AI companies, Google, Meta, Nvidia, Netflix, Adobe etc.

maybe Blender should drop ALL sponsors and become a real SAAS and just charge $1200 /year. then it can be "pure" with no AI influence

[Blender Bob 🔶 @robertrioux]

Congratulations Twitter mob. You just killed four programmer jobs at the Blender Foundation and deprived them of 1/8th of their yearly budget. But it’s ok, now you can use Blender with a good conscience. You better send them donations now. #b3d

[Shane Killian @shanedk]

Yay, Blender losing even more money, as instigated and celebrated by someone who ADMITTED HE DOESN'T EVEN USE BLENDER!!!

(Oh, but he made a small donation, so that makes it all better...)

Evil. PURE EVIL.

[SLAVO | c g s l a v @slavoartist]

The excellent double standards of Belender Community. So, Anthropic is a piece of crap, and we don’t need that in Blender here, but Meshy AI, which is precisely the Generative AI service of 3d models, is the Corporate Sponsor for Blender, it`s okay. Did I get it right?

At the same time, Anthropic is not generative AI images or 3d models at all. What about Abode, Nvidia, and Google then? Should the blender refuse their donation?
Each of you, with your 5 bucks, will be able to replace such high donations?

[Blender Bob 🔶 @robertrioux]

I gave the Blender community more than 45 addons, all created by ChatGPT at the beginning but now by Claude. I never hid that fact. When I develop one, it's to fill a gap that Blender has. Now, with that whole Ai crap happening in the Blender world, some people want to boycott my addons. Go for it. See if I care. It's not like I'm going to lose money. They're all free! Your loss. Now go on my YT page and read the comments of the thousands of people who thanked me because they really appreciate them. Now consider that only about 1-3% will actually comment or "like" even if they really enjoy it.

Some of my extensions are very simple, like the Object Display, all the way to the hyper complex Render Manager or light editor.

Now, I mentioned that my addons are coded by AI because I'm not a developer and at 56 I'm certainly not going to become one. I'm also not going to hire a developper to make my free addons. You could sell them! No, that's my contribution to the community.

That being said, are you going to ask all the addon developper if they used AI so you can boycott them? If you badly need the addon, are you going to then program it yourself?

By the way? What is YOUR contribution to the community? How much have you donated? I'm sure some of you did but 99% will just enjoy that wonderful FREE software.

The curious case of Indonesia’s fallen founders.

Nadiem Makarim built Gojek into a $10B super app. So impressive the President made him Education Minister.

Last week he broke down crying in court. Charged with corruption during his short stint as Education Minister for Chromebook procurement.

And he’s not alone. Investree’s CEO fled the country. TaniHub’s CEO arrested. eFishery’s $300M scandal. KoinWorks etc.

This have resulted in Indonesian startup funding collapsing 95% between 2024 and 2025.

We need 270million tech consumer market power but minus the drama.

[Andrew Price @andrewpprice]

Artists: would you be against this in Blender? A chat box where you could ask "build me a procedural bookshelf using geometry nodes" or "scatter this object around the room" etc.
