According to seafood watch, market squid are at the very least sustainable [0]. Squid and octopus are different I believe, but calamari is squid if I'm not mistaken.
As for Octopus, it appears a bit more iffy [1].
As for intelligence, that's secondary to sustainability for my eating habits at this point.

- jeremyt 11y agoConsidering the article is only a few paragraphs, and right in the middle of the article it states "dining on pork bung at your favorite Italian restaurant is improbable (most hog bung is exported to Asia)". I don't see how you have any factual support for the statement "a lot". In fact, there isn't even anecdotal evidence listed.
