I mean with all the undersea cables I assume they are familiar with fibre optics.
Are we sure the marine biologists properly understood the concept of wifi when they explained it to shrimps?
Well to be fair they’re marine biologists not IT professionals
IT pros would’ve had the opposite problem.
“It’s really not that complicated. What you have is 802.11n, which is 15 years old at this point. I could upgrade you to 802.11be with brand new hardware, but that’d be a waste of money. I’ve got a router in the truck that–”

WiFi ❌ Rice fried ✅
Do we trust marine biologists to be the ones explaining this, though?
Let’s get some computer scientists and electrical engineers tutoring the shrimp and biologists first, then I’ll take it seriously.
humongous if replicable
follow up work for any researchers: does shrimp understanding differ across WiFi versions? frequencies? other wireless protocols?
do they understand the concept of wired networking?
forget the AI bubble, invest now in the future of shrimp IT!
Consider how much a large language model help desk takes to run
Consider how much an entire tank of shrimp costs to upkeep.
Obvious solution.
I long for the utopian future where I call customer support and a helpful, knowledgeable shrimp picks up the phone instead of some AI crap that doesn’t understand what I’m asking.
thanks for the preview feature.
Fuck!
how do you explain me then?
Simple, you dont exist
ö
I’m sure they asked the North American River otter, but now they don’t understand wifi or semiconductors.
It sure doesn’t stop them from using it tho.
Have you tried turning it off & on again?
