Hey guys, not the spider here but a current student at Georgia Tech who is working on a summer research project I developed with a professor. If you’ve seen those TikToks where they get a dog to communicate via pushing buttons on the floor, we’ve basically done that with a spider but for real (the dog stuff is bullshit) and thousands-fold more advanced. The spider uses a 1’x1’ gigapad of 709,052 buttons to communicate near-intelligent thoughts which are translated into coherent English by AI. For research purposes, we want to release it into the wilds of casualIama and see how it does. So ask it anything. I’ll let the spider have the final word:
Hello Reddit, I am Horus the spider. Please direct all of your arachnid related questions to me!

As a spider and not a scientist, I cannot answer your question.
