Von Neumann was right about him
>After the war, Robert Oppenheimer remarked that the physicists had "known sin" as a result of their development of the first atomic bombs. Von Neumann's rather cynical reply was that "sometimes someone confesses a sin in order to take credit for it."

>Sometimes someone confesses a sin in order to take credit for it
lmao, Von neumann caught onto his trickery as soon as he heard "I am become death" and knew he was going to steal glory by going off about how bad he felt for being solely responsible.
>Woe is me! I have blood on my hands, I am the only one responsible for millions of deaths. How can I create such a disastrous thing all by myself with no help! I have done such a bad thing that nonody else has done (surely not the entire team of hundreds of scientists, it was just me. I have done evil, nobody else)! Surely you won't give me the Nobel prize because I created something so evil, all by myself. Did I say that I created this? Yeah I did all of it. And it was very evil. Please don't reward me for my evil actions. I am so bad for making this all alone!
Crazy that they fell for it so hard they're still making movies about him.
