Kind of fun info these days i bet communications of whales is 90% emotional.

they are trying to tell us that they want a new name...

Imagine one day we can communicate with all animals. Perhaps the first thing they tell us is to stop eating them.

Do they look closely at the relationships between the pod and a newly born calf, how they teach the calves language? What are their thoughts on regional dialects (like orcas and crows likely have) and how that plays in to decoding the codas? Where do I find the answers to these questions?!

There was a guy who believed that animals understand him, but then crocodile ate him

"guys we learned how to speak to animals, lets ask them what they think about us!" Proceeds to get lectured how things are getting hotter, dirtier and less pleasant in whale... "Its fine, your just hallucinating the water being dirty"

neat how they sleep vertically

AI will show us that they speak Italian

So in otherwords they will never be able to translate it xD youll be waiting a really long time for the data

Correction AI is. While scientists struggle to find non war AI applications to keep jobs lol

Why are we doing anything like this leave the whales alone
-
With OUR TAX DOLLARS, Dont try to fix the diversity problem lets go talk to whales..... Current Canada is bizarre
