cephalopod

Both scientists demonstrate a deep love for cephalopods and for science.

We should fix it by adapting cephalopods' eyes[1] and throwing out our own garbage.

If there is a designer God, his second attempt was certainly the cephalopod eye.

It's much more reasonable to kill a very very simple organism like an ant or spider than a mammal or cephalopod.

They also discuss the ethics surrounding cephalopod research.

How much additional processing is enough?Must it be an advanced, self-aware mind with a complex eye as found in a mammal or a cephalopod?

On the other hand, because cephalopod behaviour and brain structure are so foreign, others argue that their greatest cognitive feats are probably still being overlooked.

The sheer alien-ness of cephalopod intelligence reminds me of the current conversation about AI and whether they are "truly" thinking or just mechanistic.

He happens to talk to a marine biologist whose project involves putting tracking transmitters on a newly discovered species of cephalopod that seems to have become partly land-dwelling.

That novel completely ruined squids and asteroid mining for me, because I immediately think about it. Whenever I come across a group studying cephalopod intelligence, I am waiting for someone to say they developed a computer interface that they glom to and have one operating a motorized tank.

A virus, a amoeba, a bacteria, a prokaryote, a eukaryote, a fungus, a plant, a insect, a arachnid, a cephalopod, an invertebrate, a reptile, a bird, a mammal, a political ally, a community, a friend, a sibling, a parent, a child or a vegan's theory?Rhetorical question.

[22] Their last common ancestor had at most a very simple photoreceptive spot, but a range of processes led to the progressive refinement of this structure to the advanced camera eye — with one subtle difference: The cephalopod eye is "wired" in the opposite direction, with blood and nerve vessels entering from the back of the retina, rather than the front as in vertebrates.
