        Yet, we must be careful lest we weaponize this new pigeon technology. It has happened before: pigeons were used for the first guidance system for smart missiles in World War 2 (developed by B. F. Skinner himself!) The GIF is actual footage from the tests. https://web.archive.org/web/20080516215806/http://historywired.si.edu/object.cfm?ID=353 …pic.twitter.com/QMr4bWBfTA

        Fortunately, there is an official standard for pigeon-based Internet Protocol: RFC 1149. It has also been actually implemented with real pigeons! (At 0.08 bps, but still) But wait: this paper shows pigeons carrying memory cards can reach 28 gigs per sec!https://spectrum.ieee.org/tech-talk/computing/networks/pigeonbased-feathernet-still-wingsdown-fastest-way-of-transferring-lots-of-data …
