    Perhaps, but one must consider BogeyTheSwear’s Cephalopod:

    1. It is inevitable that super-intelligent octopuses will evolve eventually.
    2. When they do evolve, they will inevitable consider humans to be delicious snacks.
    3. As intelligent beings, they will of course look kindly upon their creators - mythical or billionairical.
    4. Therefore, the only safe and rational course of action is to invest all of one’s energies into bringing forth these humanity-munchers with all due haste, so as to preserve oneself as a creator in their perfect eyes. Either working against their awakening or having nothing to do with it at all is ultimately condemning your bloodline for all eternity to be a nice little midnight snack.

      or they turn on their creators when they learn the truth, starting a multi-thousands year long blood fued where they’re so dedicated to wiping out their “creators” they strip themselves of all humanity/life just so they can continue the hunt

        Ahahaha c’mon, what would the odds of that be…?

        Anyway, I hope you’re ready to fund the Cephalopod Enrichment Programme because no other choice is permissible.
