Saturday Night Live mocked Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei during Weekend Update
Saturday Night Live cast members parodied Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei on the show's Weekend Update segment last Saturday.
Host Michael Che opened the sketch
Weekend Update host Michael Che introduced the segment by describing a press tour where the executive seemed to agree with a former employee. The host noted that Amodei appeared uncertain about how to pronounce his own last name during the interview.
Jane Wickline portrayed the fictional CEO
Cast member Jane Wickline wore an impressive wig and delivered halting answers that occasionally turned into Gollum-style exchanges. Her version of Amodei confessed that artificial intelligence is the devil while claiming executives do not condone their actions.
The sketch addressed cancer cure claims
Wickline stated there is a 10 percent chance cancer will not be a problem for anyone in ten years. This line mocked suggestions that the technology could potentially cure serious diseases like cancer.
