Do you mean Agent Smith? Or is there an Ovid quote I’m missing?
I'd like to share a revelation I've had during my time here. It came to me when I tried to classify your species. I realized that you're not actually mammals. Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with their surrounding environment, but you humans do not. You move to another area, and you multiply, and you multiply, until every natural resource is consumed. The only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is? A virus. Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet. You are a plague, and we are the cure.
Nerdsnipe: The core of the quote is wrong. All mammals go through the same boom and bust cycles that other species do. There is no “instinctive equilibrium.”
- overflyer 2y agoOh yes damn it I meant agent Smith sorry ...
- doodaddy 2y agoThough, couldn’t you say that the boom and bust cycle is the equilibrium; it’s just charted on a longer timeframe? But when the booms get bigger and bigger each time, there’s no longer equilibrium but an all-consuming upward trend.
- numpad0 2y agoThere are numerous arguments wrt life and entropy, and one of it is that life must be more-efficient-than-rock form of increasing entropy. The blind pseudo-environmentalist notion that life other than us are built for over the top biodiversity and perfect sustainability gets boring after a while. they aren't like that, not even algae.

There is no “instinctive equilibrium.” I totally agree, that speech always bugged me, so many obvious counter examples, but interestingly is it now feels fairly representative of the sort of AI hallucination you might get out of current LLMs, so maybe it was accurate in its own way all along.
