Anthropic’s Dario Amodei gets the SNL treatment
SNL's Weekend Update parodied Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei over AI doomsday warnings, with Jane Wickline playing him.Summary
In a Weekend Update segment on Saturday Night Live, cast member Jane Wickline portrayed Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei wearing a wig and delivering halting answers that devolved into Gollum-like exchanges with her dark side. Host Michael Che introduced the segment by noting Amodei had "stumbled through a press tour" where he seemingly agreed AI might destroy humanity. Wickline's Amodei assured audiences that AI executives "are all on the same page here: We do not condone what we are doing." She declared, "AI is not a weapon, it's a tool: A tool for building weapons," and urged viewers to urge her to stop. On AI's potential benefits like curing cancer, she joked there's about a 10% chance cancer won't be a problem in 10 years.
