"Artificial intelligence? Done. Artificial leadership? Its origins may well be in the fish tanks and the algorithms in Maurizio Porfiri’s Brooklyn laboratories at Polytechnic Institute of New York University (NYU-Poly). Here the assistant professor of mechanical engineering, best known for modeling advanced smart materials, is using those materials, plus a lot of mathematics and his love for animals and science fiction, to build robots that lead schooling fish."

The SuperFriends may as well fire Aquaman then. All he’s got to offer now is his gay little jet-ski.

looks to me like they are all below the level of the black object and are using it as cover or an artificial reef.

There are others at NYU who think there is a black leader in the white house who moves as slow as this slow dead in the water fish.......like this fish, he has no direction and his minions all cower below him.

Wonder if the fish would be willing to lead the country. I’m sure it would be an improvement.

Imagine farming the sea where you can stock the fish you want, tag them and set them free, and upon maturity send out robot fish to guide them back into your nets and off to market.

I can get the same reaction from my Bala sharks and Corys by waving their fish food can around the top of the tank.

The Comets and Koi go bananas as soon as I show up near their backyard pond and will swim around it in whatever direction I walk.

Does this make me their queen?
