i just learned her partner is named Henry Hornbuckle now this is power couple we deserve but not the one we need right now

Or George Carlin - perhaps it's just me, but modern shows aren't that funny anymore.

> Hard to comprehend how we've gone from Norm MacDonald being so relentlessly bold he was fired, to this sterility, in 30 years.

Is it, though?

Wouldn't it be more strange if the former didn't eventually lead to the latter?

Dario?

30 years is a long ass time. Did you miss what happened to the Simpsons over 30 years?

Yeah it wasn’t great. Other parts of this week’s Weekend Update were better like the Meta AI character having the same dead eyes as Zuck or Tucker Carlson discussing movies. That wasn’t great but had some fun in pure ridiculousness.

Either way the fact this is even a sketch says a lot about where we are. They clearly think enough people know about this discussion, and him specifically, to be able to pull this off. If you made an SNL sketch about other people HN talks about the audience would just be totally confused and lost.

He has earned the very dubious honor of joining Elizabeth Holmes and Zuckerberg as “weirdo tech people to make fun of”.

To be honest I struggle to understand why SNL endures. It has never been funny with very very few exceptions.

But what does it matter? It’s not like that number is based on any science. It’s literally p (doom | vibes).

You are wrong. The confusion arises because Coxon said “within the decade” with no associated probability and Hubinger said “within the next decade” at 10%.

Was expecting it to be US-only, but the list of blocked countries is odd.

Andorra, Australia, Belgium, Canada, Germany, Algeria, France, French Guiana, Guadeloupe, Comoros (the), Luxembourg, Morocco, Monaco, Martinique, New Caledonia, French Polynesia, Saint Pierre and Miquelon, Réunion, Seychelles, Tunisia, Wallis and Futuna, Mayotte

Agreed. I wish they would have thrown in a "guardrails to stop me, but mostly my competitors" so the public would think about that possibility more.

I disagree there are so many other ways to be funny than making fun of someone's stuttering. We shouldn't be bullying people delivering trillions of dollars of value to society.

Seems like a gollum thing to me.

They missed an opportunity to talk about 'my precious AI' or have the gollum-like voice talk in claudeisms ('lever', 'honest take', 'load bearing'). I wasn't entirely clear on the skits working theory, is this a crazy guy that thinks he has the one ring but really has a cereal box toy?

I’m looking so much forward to the bubble popping and LLM to be seen as a standard software. They were so much more interesting without the whole absurd 14y-old-first-sci-fi hype around them :(

It's all just a big scam to scare the public into buying robot insurance.

it’s alright, they’re making fun of the “security risk” Anthropic’s CEO, not their darling Altman

Trump doesn’t like Dario, he has been invited to White House I guess to make him stop causing drama https://x.com/Polymarket/status/2104238992254222679?s=20

For a while, it has felt like anything LLM-related hits the front page.

Here you go: https://www.instagram.com/reels/Ddxyuq4N9vj/ (had the same problem)

This a weird SNL thing, the only ones that does geo block on youtube (afaik), their quality is way down so not even worth enabling VPN to watch them

Copyright might be part of this; I haven’t thought that through. But this restriction is about whose turf they’re trying to push their product on. SNL has to be pushed through a different distributor in different regions.
