I taught an octopus piano (It took 6 months)

  TLDR: the octopus didn’t actually learn how to play music, it just learned to pull the levers for different keys to get food.

    By the end, he was playing with it just for "fun" without the food motivation. Great, stimulating toy for a bored octopus.

    Takes years to learn the piano, Taco shows promise at 6mo.

      Their life expectancy is usually less than 2 years though. Does it worth for them to spend that long? We never know.

    That’s also what human musicians do, in a roundabout way

  I love this channel, except that he is changing old video titles to clickbait-ey titles. So now I try to search for the older videos that introduced me to the channel, and its so hard to find.
