You just need to convice the ethics review board on some research lab to allow for editing the genes of a few octopus to make them longer lived, give them education, etc...

Q: What do you get when you cross an octopus with a cow?

A: An immediate cessation of funding and a stern letter from the Ethics Committee.

The nautilus is a genetic precursor to the octopus on the cephalopod branched tree of life and takes 20 years to mature.
