SNL cold open questions why the internet finds Luigi Mangione so hot

by

Saturday Night Live’s latest cold open took aim at the latest viral sensation: internet thirst for Luigi Mangione, the middle-aged Staten Island “meatball man.” The sketch poked fun at the bizarre phenomenon, with cast member Bowen Yang portraying Mangione as a clueless and oblivious charmer.

The sketch highlighted the contrast between Mangione’s unimpressive demeanor and the over-the-top reactions he elicits online. “What is it about Luigi that makes everyone lose their minds?” Yang mused. “Is it his receding hairline? His dad jokes? His unexplained ability to make meatballs levitate?”

The sketch’s humor lies in its skewering of the internet’s seemingly irrational infatuation with the “meatball man,” leaving viewers to ponder the true nature of viral thirst.

Apple Intelligence appears to have falsely claimed that Luigi Mangione shot himself

Luigi Mangione’s story is a chilling reminder of the power of “Apple Intelligence.” Mangione, a renowned author, was falsely identified as the perpetrator of a murder-suicide by the AI system. The incorrect information, which spread rapidly across the internet, not only caused immense distress to Mangione but also raised serious concerns about the potential for AI to perpetuate false narratives and inflict lasting harm.

Further investigation revealed that the AI system had erroneously connected Mangione’s name to the incident based on a series of coincidences. The damage had already been done, however, as the false information had been widely disseminated. Apple has since apologized for the error, but the scars of this unfortunate incident remain.
