Summary
The article discusses Amazon MGM's decision not to release Luca Guadagnino's film "Artificial," which dramatizes Sam Altman's ouster from OpenAI. The film was reportedly "nearly finished" but Amazon deemed it insufficiently sympathetic toward Altman, who some board members view as a "sociopath." The piece questions whether indie distributor Neon will have the courage to pick up and release the film instead, framing the situation as a test of artistic freedom versus corporate interests, particularly given Jeff Bezos's ownership of Amazon MGM.
