Avatar director, who moved to New Zealand after the Covid pandemic says he will soon be a citizen of a country where people ‘are, for the most part, sane’
A quick skim of the article, he also cites how the US doesn’t believe in vaccines and that trump is a train wreck. That said, he did make the quote and is a rich douche so…. Point stands
That’s probably the one area where he comes off most as a douche. He’s notoriously demanding to work with
He also, earlier on, had a history of less safe practices
But I’d put him as one of the few wealthy people that actually created something others can’t. His movies are a creation of his own. Not the result of inevitable scientific advancement
OpenAI/ChatGPT was the result inevitable scientific advancement. The game changer was a publicly published academic paper (by a Google researcher), not anything Sam Altman or OpenAI did. Same can be said about a lot of modern products that created our wealthiest billionaires
His movies are a creation of his own. Not the result of inevitable scientific advancement
Are you seriously claiming that Cameron made his movies without scientific advancements? Cameron used the result of hundreds of technical advancements and patents in order to make his movies. He didn’t invent movie-making.
Every one of us profits from a system that exploits workers. There are workers who can’t even get online, they’re suffering more than you, and what little you have is partly due to their underpaid efforts.
Don’t let imperfection be the enemy of good. We’re all a part of a system that exploits others, so that can’t be any useful metric as it paints everyone.
K so I’m going to continue to be pissed at some asshole coming to our country with no loyalty or desire to be American, exploiting our labor, and fucking off when it gets bad.
I hope he gets to live long enough for it to come to his door.

As far as rich douches go, James Cameron is probably one of the cleaner ones.
He’s still rich off the exploitation of other laborers though
I think the opinion of those that have worked with him would be most relevant to that.
