   I generally don't think SNL is very funny but I think it's quite socially healthy that they make fun of the political and economic elites. I wonder if we mapped out their targets if there would be any glaring omissions that would stand out.

   This video didn't make me laugh but I appreciate the flexing of the first amendment. They should continue with other AI-related figures.

      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.

         the idea of a caricature is to exaggerate the features someone is most insecure about. That's what Spitting Image is.

            That is literally bullying. especially when those insecurities are something that can not be fixed. You can't excuse bullying because "it's for humor." It's cruel.

               I think Dario will be fine. I don't have much sympathy.

               And yes, it is indeed because he's a billionaire actively shaping a worse society. Not because it's okay to make fun of impediments when it's on rich people.
