It's wild to think we've managed to take a photo of a Black Hole, but not a single one of a Colossal Squid.

[@BetaDude40]

That photo is more like an incrediby faint pattern of radio waves being detected by a bunch of different antennae everywhere in the equivalent of an extremely long-exposure film, but instead it's a whole bunch of raw analog signal output that is translated into an absolutely monstrous amount of digital data that had to be sifted through by supercomputers and transported physically by the cartful of hard-drives to produce even the fuzzy donut-shaped splotch we have now. So calling it a "photo" in the traditional sense is a little oversimplifying, but even still we have the technology to do all of that and yet we lack the capability to reach the deep. You're right, it really puts into perspective how hard this is. (or maybe how underfunded life sciences are compared to astronomy and physics research)

Funny thing is you might be on the right track with that. They filmed a giant squid using this technique, sort of. They made a robotic jellyfish that is found down there. That jellyfish has a specific light pattern it emits when it is being attacked. Giant squid are not interested in the jellyfish, but the squid figured out that if the jellyfish is being attacked then the fish that is attacking it is big enough to be a good meal. So when the robot jellyfish was sent down, it would flash a pattern of lights similar to that of the real jellyfish that was under attack. A giant squid came over to investigate and see if he there was a fish attacking the jellyfish he could eat.

What is an interesting fact about the colossal squid? The colossal squid is a massive squid that lives in the deep sea surrounding Antarctica, and it is the holder of multiple records. Not only is it the largest invertebrate on Earth, it also has the largest eyes of any animal, larger even than those of the great whales.. Has anyone seen a colossal squid alive? To date, there are still no pictures of living colossal squid in their natural habitat. This lack of observations means that even to this day, the enormous invertebrates still straddle the line between legend and reality. Yes. Giant squids do exist. There is footage of giant squids, we have found bodies of giant squids, and we have found pieces of giant squids inside sperm whales.

Perhaps the real collosal squids were the friends we made along the way 😊😊😊.

This is some Subnautica Below Zero type shi

It's easier to tag Cthulhu than a collosal squid, those fuckers can really hide.

You are covering up the writing with more writing at the bottom of the screen, making it illegible.

[@BonaparteBardithion]

That's just a limit of YT's shorts format. I don't know why they don't let the UI go away when you tap the video or full screen it like they do with regular videos. People making shorts just don't take that into account most of the time.

Of all the uses for AI, I think this could possibly be one. Unmanned submersibles. I mean, specifically to try and catch a collosal squid? Still unlikely, but generally being a great tool to learn about the ocean and it's inhabitants, much better goal. I think an unmanned submersible would fare better than the other options.

"they'd need the world's most expensive research vehicle" my arse, gimme a 6 pack, a man from Florida, and a camera, and a sign that says free 6 pack for video of colossal squid

[@grimmako4879]

Imagine taking a submarine down there on pitch darkness with the only thing is the sub lights and seeing a huge ass eyeball staring at you 💀

“-70% progress speed” Where to get Ancient Isle Snowcap cave or island Deep ocean/ border

[@ZombieGojira]

Squids are the things flying UFOs.

Time for a Cyclops expedition!... if only. 😅

I'm pretty sure a colossal squid was filmed in it's habitat before, on accident

[@gidw5833]

That was a giant squid, very confusing name, similar animals, but not the same species.
