With the current state of the world it is likely their parting words would be "So long, you assholes killed off the fish"
-
Wouldn't that be "So long and thanks for all the fish"?
-
Originally they were thanking the humans for feeding them all the fish. Now they would be telling us off for killing off all the good fish.

I knew they were all talking about me!

Dolphins are federal agents, confirmed.

Yea... hey wait a minute!
(you weren't supposed to let on that we know - abort, abort!)

"Turn's out dolphins are racist as fuck!"
-
That one episode of SpongeBob was right al along
-
I am gonna take a wild guess (wo reading the original article), is this one of them studies where they throw a neural net at dolphins and see if it sticks.
-
It's satire, it's been around since at least 2017.
-
darn it, I really hoped someone would think that they can understand dolphins with neural networks. I should tone down my expectations.

This is like the dolphins who unionize and strike against the villains organization in starter villain by John sculzi llol
-
They are particularly angry at someone named "May."
-
That is why I call them dolfucks.
-
I wonder if they see us some sort of deformed octopus or squid, like our arms/legs just look like tentacles to them?
-
I know this is disinformation, i'm going to upvote it anyway.

Meh, I stopped upvoting things because I liked them and started upvoting things I wanted other people to see. That's how the algorithms work anyway

I'm going to spend the rest of my life developing ui for whales to send intercontinental missiles

Yeah, so I found the original article for this screenshot, and it's by Dash MacIntyre, a satirist who self-publishes on Medium.
Ah fuck. I was really hoping dolphins were slating us. :(
This doesn't mean they aren't. Just that we don't have proof yet.
We'll have to find some other excuse to duel with them.
People thought this was real?
I didn't think it was real but if it was I wouldn't've been surprised. Does that count?
I mean... A lot of my vocabulary is anti-human, too. Its believable enough to make me wonder.
I mean, there are real projects. I know that the orca population near Vancouver is a focus of decoding mammal language.
They have recordings going back like 30 years and log books to connect the calls to orca behavior. Last I checked (a few years ago) they were pretty far with unsupervised learning on the audio data and we're going to tackle the (barely readable) logbooks next.
I doubt we are far enough to train ai for animal-human translation on more than a conceptual level, and I doubt that I would hear about it from dolphins for the first time.
I expect a widely covered story of translating dogs' barks (or cats) first, and not in a "Hello Human, Welcome back home, I missed you. Please give me food" way (which would be probably fake) but just "Friend! Joy. Hungry"
And I don't know how we could scientifcally differentiate a slur from a descriptive name on that conceptual level.
What I don't doubt is that dolphins have slurs for humans.
Dude, we fed LSD to dolphins then gave them a rub and tug in the name of science...
Do you have any idea how stupid people can be?
