we have a winner for the most absurd AI startup ever

this Peter Thiel backed company uses AI robots to stab fish in the brain so they taste better and last up to 3x longer

it's called Shinkei and it modernizes a centuries-old Japanese technique

dozens of Michelin-star restaurants are already lining up to buy the fish

here's how it works:

> the problem is when a fish gets caught, it usually just suffocates on the boat

> that stress floods the meat with hormones and lactic acid, which hurts the flavor and texture

> the old Japanese fix for this was spiking the fish through the brain right after the catch, which stops all that

> but doing it by hand is impractical for most American fishing crews

> so Shinkei built a fridge-sized robot that sits right on the boat's deck

> the crew feeds in a fish and AI identifies the exact species, so it knows exactly where the brain and gills are

> the robot then drives the spike through the brain and cuts near the gills in about 7 seconds

> the fish goes into an ice slurry so the blood drains out

> so the fish doesn't sit there stressing out, and that tasty flavor and texture is preserved

example number 5,392,417 of how AI can be applied to literally anything
