It’s great how we’re finally acknowledging the intelligence of other animals as the default rather than isolated and unusual occurrences. Before the work of Doctor Goodall, we basically acted as those complex social dynamics were impossible or exceedingly unlikely.

Plot twist: The handed fishes are highly contained with inorganic arsenic, and they're trying to kill humans with more sophisticated methods.

Don’t be fooled by their seeming friendliness: they’re just trying to fatten us up.

They read the book: “To Serve Man”

I got to the same conclusion but I was thinking of the orcas as grannys, complaining that we are too skinny and won't survive without a good layer of blubber.

Ferreal, though. They already rank among crows & wolves (as far as we can tell, ahem), and if their world is rapidly turning into acid, I can only imagine what they must assume that our, much smaller home biome must be doing...
Now, if they knew that it was us behind it all?! 🥲 It'd likely be a much different story — and I wouldn't blame them a bit. 🤷🏼♂️
Hey, waitaminute... If the oligarchs are building bigger and more numerous yachts while the landmasses crisp to fund their puny, plastic existences... Can we use LLMs to share that info with these seawolves? (How do you even say "luigi" in orca?)

They're trying to make pets of us.

We’ll make great pets.

So long and thanks for all the fish?

Orcas: maybe if we feed them they’ll stop killing everything they must be very hungry.
