The Injured Baby Ohmu

01Scenario

Tolmekians suspend a wounded baby Ohmu as bait; its distress signal draws an enormous red-eyed herd into a destructive stampede.

02AI safety Analogy

A single adversarial trigger exploits shared signaling and correlated behavior, turning an entire population into one failure mode.

03Where the analogy breaks

The herd response is biological defense behavior, not an algorithmic network.
