These men are fucking humanity from behind and expect to be congratulated for it.

It is unclear exactly why the film was dropped, but according to Variety, the news came after it had already undergone positive screen tests.

‘Artificial’ would have been Luca Guadagnino’s third movie with Amazon

An early viewer told the publication that the film’s portrayals of Altman and newly minted trillionaire Musk are the two characters audiences would “like the least.” It was also reported that Amazon had already seen every early iteration of the script before Guadagnino was hired to direct.

Altman and Amazon founder Jeff Bezos have developed a high-profile friendship over the years. In fact, the former was in attendance at Bezos’s wedding to Lauren Sánchez, which took place in Venice, Italy, in 2025.

In recent months, the two have continued to deepen their professional partnership that began in 2015, when Amazon became one of OpenAI’s first investors. Ten years later, the companies closed their first major deal in November 2025, allowing the ChatGPT maker to run its systems on Amazon’s U.S. data centers.

The wrong Amazon is burning.

Amazon sure does love sucking dick, huh.
