Lads, corporate AI spend has already peaked.
Look how much Anthropic (in brown) is losing already, no wonder their comms are getting desperate.

![Criticism of crash depiction
The film was widely criticized for its use of Mardenborough's crash at the Nürburgring Nordschleife as a narrative element. This segment faithfully re-enacted a March 2015 crash during which his Nissan GT-R Nismo became airborne at the notorious Flugplatz turn and cartwheeled over the fence into spectators.[58] One spectator was killed almost immediately and others were taken to the hospital with serious and severe injuries.[58][59] This crash was depicted in Gran Turismo as a traumatic event for Mardenborough that impacted his racing performance during his debut at the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
The film combines two real races into one event: Jann's debut in LMP2 at Le Mans racing a Zytek Z11SN-Nissan for Greaves Motorsport happened roughly two years before the crash (the team finished 3rd, as depicted in the film); his debut in LMP1 at Le Mans racing a GT-R LM Nismo for Nissan Motorsports came roughly 3 months after the crash (the team did not finish due to a car failure in the 23rd hour).[60][61][62]
The use of a dead spectator to enhance the plot was negatively received by critics, with the film being labeled as "tasteless" and "reprehensible".[63][56][42]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:tuk2uvozeqfgm2h23u674ag3/bafkreibrfgnwdz5ahwuq4gvx7z6do3fblvxra3taoqh3k27osbaf6sjoie)
!["For me, it’s a great example of what you can do now with movies," he began. "If you’re faithful to the source material and you don’t insult the intelligence of your audience, and give them something really interesting to grapple with, [and don't,] dare I say it, try and shove, like, crappy identity politics into it, you end up with a ... good movie at the end.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:tuk2uvozeqfgm2h23u674ag3/bafkreia7av67amejopogahdntojys6no7vc2ubaoel7bdvbgbd5qgpst3u)
