During a livestream, fish gained control of a YouTuber's Nintendo Switch. They opened a PayPal account, used their credit card to make transactions, and even sent an email
A YouTuber unintentionally recorded his betta fish using his Nintendo Switch for hours, changing the user name, switching between games, and even using the device to charge a credit card.
The fish, which can perform operations with motion sensors that detect their movements across squares corresponding to different buttons on a Nintendo Switch controller, are frequently featured on the Japanese YouTube channel Mutekimaru.
The channel doesn't say why Betta fish were chosen to run the games, but they have been known to exhibit intelligent features like the capacity for sadness.
When the gaming fish beat several Pokémon games by swimming around in their tank, they grabbed headlines. The channel includes fish with the names Maurice, Moo, and Ponyo. In September, Lala, a fourth fish, passed away.
The owner took a break from his screen during a broadcast earlier this month showing the fish playing Pokémon Violet, according to CNN. Due to a bug, the system abruptly ended the game and went back to the home screen.
The Nintendo Switch was still in the fish's hands, though. The fish spent the following several hours changing the owner's Switch's name, downloading a new avatar, setting up a PayPal account (and informing the owner by email), and even reading a set of Nintendo eShop terms and conditions.
"Fish read the terms and conditions with interest. Fish are smarter than humans, although many of us don't read the terms of service. In a video recapping the incident, one caption stated:
The fish revealed his credit card information to his audience, who had been watching his behavior while he was away, and contributed 500 yen, or $4, to the Switch account.
The film's amusing title said, "This is the world's first frightening footage of a pet fish using its owner's credit card."
