We already new this shit before this AI video

I once saw an old crow in a tree. He was cawing and sounded rough and ancient. Two other younger crows landed beside him on the same branch and proceeded to feed the old crow. I was blown away by that. I love corvids.

Downvote for Tucker Carlson. Surely someone who’s not a fucking asshole can tell us about this instead. Probably with fewer lies too.

The new is that, using AI they are on the way to translate the language from crows and also some other animals (Dolphines, Elephants, Whales...)

So, potentially, crows could gang up with elephants and whales?

I could say the same about some of my co-workers.

The ability to share detailed information and transmit knowledge in a structured way
