"[they] routinely edit their RNA (ribonucleic acid) sequences to adapt to their environment [which in turn causes DNA changes]" - from article
The scientific community is probably on the verge of realising that these types of mechanisms exist across the animal kingdom. A flavour of intelligent design where organisms can actively adapt based on signals from the environment. There is an inherent danger in willy-nilly gene editting with CRISPR.

We just need to use CRISPR to edit octopus DNA into us so that we gain the capability to mutate our RNA which will, in turn, allow us to develop natural immunity to COVID. Boom. Problem solved.

I'm for it.
