Anthropic’s Dario Amodei gets the SNL treatment

Anthropic 首席执行官 Dario Amodei 登上《周六夜现场》

Saturday Night Live took on the AI industry’s recent warnings of doom last night, as cast member Jane Wickline offered her impression of Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei. 昨晚，《周六夜现场》（Saturday Night Live）拿人工智能行业近期的“末日警告”开涮，节目组成员 Jane Wickline 在剧中模仿了 Anthropic 首席执行官 Dario Amodei。

Weekend Update host Michael Che — who sounded a little uncertain about how to pronounce Amodei’s last name — kicked the segment off by describing the CEO as having “stumbled through a press tour” where he seemingly agreed with a former employee’s claim that artificial intelligence might destroy humanity. 《周末更新》（Weekend Update）主持人 Michael Che 在介绍该环节时，似乎对 Amodei 这个姓氏的发音不太确定。他形容这位 CEO 在最近的媒体巡回采访中“表现得磕磕绊绊”，并似乎认同了一位前员工的观点，即人工智能可能会毁灭人类。

Wickline’s version of Amodei sported an impressive wig and delivered halting answers that occasionally devolved into full-on Gollum-style exchanges with her dark side, at one point confessing, “AI is the devil and I its maker.” Wickline 饰演的 Amodei 戴着一顶引人注目的假发，回答问题时断断续续，偶尔还会陷入类似《指环王》中“咕噜”那种与内心阴暗面博弈的状态。她甚至在节目中坦言：“人工智能是魔鬼，而我就是它的制造者。”

Wickline-as-Amodei assured the audiences that AI executives “are all on the same page here: We do not condone what we are doing.” Wickline 饰演的 Amodei 向观众保证，人工智能高管们“在这点上达成了共识：我们并不纵容我们正在做的事情。”

“AI is not a weapon, it’s a tool: A tool for building weapons,” she declared. “And I urge you to urge me to stop.” “人工智能不是武器，它是一种工具：一种制造武器的工具，”她宣称，“我恳请你们督促我停下来。”

As for the technology’s supposed benefits, like potentially curing cancer, the fictional Amodei said, “Put it this way: In 10 years, there’s about a 10% chance that cancer won’t be a problem for anyone.” 至于该技术所谓的益处（例如可能治愈癌症），这位虚构的 Amodei 表示：“换句话说，10 年后，癌症不再困扰任何人的概率大约只有 10%。”
