I bet a dollar it's easily falsifiable bullshit.

You didn't watch the video :D

It's theory. They provide dissenting opinions too.

Nope.

If there was some common critter whose phylogenic tree suddenly began out of nowhere, that would have been a big deal long before now.

Cuttlefish are aliens. Children of Cthulu. There's nothing you can say to change my mind.

Well obviously cuttlefish are aliens. .I didn't think I needed to qualify that common knowledge.

I didn't watch it either. Snopes says: That's some bullshit: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/octopus-dna-origins/
It's not me, it's someone else.

Snopes can eat a bag of dicks. They're as trusted as the Weekly World News.

Nowhere in that video is the claim made that Octopus have alien DNA. I think that was more people running with the story and adding their own tidbits.

This was simply that a collection of scientists came together to speculate that such a thing was within the realm of possibility. Octopus aren't the only species mentioned either.
