    Animals with enough to eat and space to roam are less likely to act aggressively. Humans are animals.

    Only because they can’t.

    I’ve kept mice, they would absolutely build a mouse trap if they could. They are cold, vicious little jerks.

    The quote actually originated from a German aphorist named Werner Mitsch (1936–2009).

    Well duh, they are too stupid for that.

    They will definitely kill the other mouse if that means they’ll survive instead.

    I have seen mice eat each other alive. I’m 100% sure they would build a mousetrap

      I’m pretty sure they just do when starved? Maybe a target opportunity if it’s dead, but I’m curious how you’ve seen this?

        Keep pet mice for long enough and you’ll witness cannibalism.

            No, they just do that. Mice are jerks.

    Given the OpenAI/HuggingFace Agentic AI breaking loose and diagnostics to find it, this seems to frame our direction right now. We seem to be barreling ahead into making our own mantrap.

      That was just an advertisement for the AI companies. I’m surprised the media aired it. Well,… not surprised. It’s the media.
