Neat story. Agreed that animals are already communicating without some kind of newfangled AI. But also most meat consumption isn’t roadkill and doesn’t involve reasonable conditions for the animals while they’re alive. I see it as a big spe

There’s a handful of efforts like this which I find really exciting and hopeful. It’s clear we can do damage to the environment but I think it’s important to try to learn and take positive restorative steps given our position of stewardship
