That’s not the point. They want me to connect with a phone and do all kinds of weird things with that information.
I made an offline QR decoder to deal with that nonsense, still have to go to some linkexpander website. All of HTML must be recreated with huge javascript libraries, but the URL has to be in a tiny form… Their priorities are not my/our priorities.
Most communication is based on the context of our society. I bet we wouldn’t understand the context of Dolphins for example.
Better communicate with intention. When you make good intentions clear, have patients, move slow, etc, then you can attempt communication with many animals already.
I can communicate with my cat, and I understand perfectly when she wants dinner. I can signal her that she needs to wait for a little while. I can understand her frustration when the neighbor cat visits our garden. I can see in the neighbor’s cat’s eyes he just want to chill here because of his enthusiastic dog housemate. I still have to figure out what that blue-tit wants from me. I left him some fresh water, see where that goes. It could be it just tries to tell me it’s a bit busy in the backyard…
