‘Saturday Night Live’ Parodies Dario Amodei, Joking About His ‘Developing AI While Warning About Its Risks’ In the Season 52 premiere of ‘Saturday Night Live,’ the ‘Weekend Update’ segment featured actress Jane Wickline impersonating Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei in a satirical skit about AI safety and regulation. The show poked fun at Amodei for simultaneously warning about AI’s potential threats to humanity, calling for stricter regulations and slower development, while continuing to push Anthropic to train more powerful models. Lines included: ‘If I can force lawmakers to set up guardrails, I can stop myself,’ ‘AI is the devil, and I’m its creator,’ and ‘AI isn’t a weapon—it’s a tool to make weapons.’ The skit also included a scene where Amodei argued with a version of himself, mocking the contradiction between his public stance and business practices. Meta’s Chief AI Scientist Yann LeCun responded with three laughing-crying emojis under a related post.
