    Is there anything more pathetic than falsely attributing a banal quotation you like to Albert Einstein so people on the internet take it more seriously.

    This one’s been doing the rounds for years but there’s a bunch

    A fake quote about traps and putting a hair on the image is a nice self reference to what this really is.

      I did, it’s 100% true. He wrote it in his diary it in 1953 after attending the original Barbenhainer screenings.

        I hate time travelers constantly messing with time and getting to see movie before we do, they probably already played GTA 6 too.

          Noooo, it was the original 1953 Barbie and Oppenheimer movies, not the 2023 remakes.

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

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

    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.

    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.

    Well duh, they are too stupid for that.

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

    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.

        Not just that but it’s like the third time they’ve done this. I remember them saying the same about fable 5 but from using it myself, wasn’t drastically different from previous models
