James Cameron, Self-Proclaimed God of Cinema, Deigns to Grace Stability AI's Board of Directors.

Los Angeles, California September 24, 2024 - Stability AI, a company desperately in need of some headlines, announced that James Cameron has magnanimously agreed to join its Board of Directors. The announcement was made by Stability AI CEO, Prem Akkaraju, who was reportedly giddy with excitement.

Cameron, known for his modest films about small boats and blue cat people, has been a driving force in convincing Hollywood that more pixels equal better movies. As a director, writer, and producer, he has pushed cinematic boundaries and brought to life some of the most expensive and time-consuming films of all time, including The “Terminator(s)” 1-4, “Titanic” (spoiler alert - it doesn’t end well) and the "Avatar" series (humans are usually bad, aliens good). No argument here.

Cameron's artist-centric perspective, paired with his business acumen and penchant for yelling "Action!" really loudly, will support Stability AI in continuing to unlock new opportunities to empower creators to tell stories in ways once unimaginable, like filming the same movie for 13 years.
