Lots of interesting stuff here!

But I was surprised by this:

> While these dolphins aren't wild, they are provided with regular opportunities to hunt in the open ocean, complementing their usual diet of frozen fish... "They can swim away if they choose, and over the years a few have. But almost all stay."

I wonder if they're gonna start a recruitment program so the dolphins can recruit their open-sea bros into the program. "Hey man, want a free GoPro and unlimited fish for life?"

Explain ‘advertising revenues’ to them and ruin dolphin culture forever. :P

Just don't tell them about crypto. We don't need them on their sigma grind.

I wonder if some of the ones that don't stay in San Diego go stay with unfriendly regimes who A/B test their designs with them.

Next we'll need dolphin unions. This is actually the sub-plot of the John Scalzi novel "Starter Villain".

One day one of these dolphins will point his camera at a sign spelled out with seaweed: "So long, and thanks for all the fish."
