Underwater robot tracks sperm whale conversations in real time

They said we have six months to get our shit in order or they're calling their big brother tube-shaped space probe and we won't like talking to him.

Would be interesting if this data could bring us ideas on information theory sort of how we have these nature parallels in algorithms like these: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ant_colony_optimization_algori...

Imagine Whales have better recall, pass@k metrics and deal with context windows differently, who knows!

Not much info on the actual robot... For instance, I wonder how it has enough battery to follow a whale for 'months'? Which seems really unrealistic, as sperm whales can dive more than a kilometre, can't imagine an autonomous robot can support this kind of pressure, let alone for months at a time?

I'm so tired of the surveillance state.
