Personally I think it's silly as hell. Qualia is obviously a biological component of experience... Not some weird thing that science will never be able to put in to words.

I've been listening to a lot of psychology podcasts lately and for some reason people seem obsessed with the idea despite you needing to make the same logical leaps to believe it as any sort of mysticism... Maybe I am just tripping idk

Birds copy any old sounds that are interesting enough. Getting a bird to copy a steganographic noise just means the bird is really good at copying that sound, not that it's being abused or used as file storage.

I don't think it's animal abuse I just don't like the idea of someone potentially transmitting porn OTA via birds
