For everyone to lazy to watch the video, he made a special piano the octopus can hold onto instead of pressing then rewarded him a crab if he was able to play several random notes in a row.

The Animal was clearly condition to pull on random levers in the end but far from a melody. A rat or a pig can actually learn patterns for example easily outperforming it.

Octopuses think very differently than mamals but nothing in this video convinced me that it was anything more than conditioning.

Like how much money people have to design and make custom made piano for an aquarium?! :D

Current additive manufacturing machines (Desktop size) cost a few times more than a custom coffee at a pretentious coffee shop. Less than some sport team fan jerseys. Top end, are still less that most used cars.

I don't believe in eating animals like the octopus. They are too smart, it is wrong.

Pigs and cows are pretty smart too. Chickens are fucking stupid though.

Admittedly, yes. Pigs are smart, yet they have bacon inside. We eat whatever is easiest to catch.

An octopus is at the level though that without the short life it could be us.

Yeah, based on our current understanding of what is required to develop into a dominant species octopus are just as valid of a outcome as primates.

I tried to learn to play piano... but I suppose there was never any implication (well obvious one anyway) that I'd might get eaten if I failed.

Have you tried looking helpless at a wet market? That's one of the ways to find a tutor.

Nor someone feeding you for every key you pressed.

Did you try being naked under water for a few months? Maybe that is why it didnt work.

In the absence of a canibal family member, you could use as motivation the fact that Alzheimer will hit harder and faster if you don't reeeeally learn to play.

It just takes consistency friend, you can start with literally 5 minutes a day <3

link minus the ?si=xxxx... tracker tag that Youtube adds: https://youtu.be/PcWnQ7fYzwI

Don't click "share" next time and just copy paste the link from the topbar instead. The "si=" and everything after it isn't necessary and is just a tracking parameter certain sites use, i.e. google, youtube, etc.

They don't need any more of our data if we can help it :D

When you share a link, you should remove everything after and including the ?si=; that's tracking information and can sometimes house your profile information to any recipients, depending on the website you're sharing from

Cant lie, I dd not look at the link and just clicked it, then in the short time it loaded up a new tab I was like "oh no, you ass you got me!" because I genuinely thought I was about to get rick rolled. Then it loaded up and it was actually a longer video of the same content. such relief... What a roller coaster..
