    This is an awesome lecture by a guy who works in a team that’s been training AI models to decode languages and translate languages without any external dictionary. Pretty interesting in itself but it gets crazy when they apply it to animal communication and realize the same principles apply. Defo worth a watch.

      Has there been any tests using that model on Corvids? I know scientists have suspected they have an actual language before.

        The bit about the whales having “culture” that’s potentially >30 million years old, compared to the fact that humans have only been around for ~150k years blew my mind.

        The foresight the team has had to try not to fuck up this culture with a load of garbled AI nonsense is pretty amazing too.

    They played whale sounds in the water and the whale made whale sounds back… It’s kind of cool but not a conversation.

    I initially read “Human to whale conversion” and thought “who’s been working on this and why is this the first I’m hearing of it?”

    HAHAHA

    Reading comprehension, mate… 🤦‍♂️

    It’s similar to how Antarctica is studied as a proxy for Mars.
