Screw the Boston Dynamics Robot Dogs and CVS checkouts yall... In 2 years I'm pretty sure these will have death lasers strapped to them. This will be what destroys civilization... If not the 2024 election.

Gold fish are cold hearted killers from birth... They show no remorse because they forget their past every 5 seconds.

I wonder how much the engineers got paid for that study though... Seems kind of like intuitive/redundant research work (no offense intended). I think I saw a similar video on YT years ago... If only YouTube's advanced search didn't have goldfish-memory type features. :/

Why not both? Fish bowls atop laser equipped robot dogs, with air cover provided by bomb dropping quadcopter fish bowls, hunting humans and flushing our remains down toilet in revenge. I for one salute our new fishy overlords in this new normal.

The scientists probably get paid mediocre salaries to work on something adjacent and more useful, and their Prof seized the PR opportunity and ordered them to do it and they rolled their eyes and obliged.
