Lightning Talk: Is My Cat Turing-Complete?
summary
Claims a cat can implement Brainfuck-like primitives and tries to prove it with small, informal experiments: poke -> meow input/output, kibbles-as-memory-tape where spilled food acts as cells and displacement counts as shift, and observed repetitive behaviors interpreted as loops. Demonstrations are anecdotal and comedic; an attempted cryptocurrency miner setup fails. Shows methods and failures rather than theory, plus a warning that using animals this way is wrong.
