that's not really true
cephalopods tend to sit in the middle of the road, they get eaten by larger fish, sharks, and mammals, but they also primarily eat fish

Why do cephalopods have such short life spans compared to other sea critters their size?

>some of the most intelligent animals on the planet
Correction.
Some of the most intelligent INVERTEBRATES on the planet.
>>lifespans are too short to make any use of their intelligence
Correction.
They don't need any time to teach their offspring any skills because 99% of their behavior is pre-programmed like insects.

Also, cephalopods are so primitive that they don't even have myelinated neurons.

It's perfectly acceptable to refer to non-mammal synapsids as mammal-like reptiles. Only redditors will say otherwise, and nobody cares what redditors think.
