Can’t have that cheat code in science, unless they let their models study the behavior of real ant colonies as part of their reinforcement learning process.
You know, that’s actually one of the very few types of use case where I’d be ok with the massive resource consumption of AI data centers. Just feed enormous volumes of raw sensor data into model training and see if it comes up with patterns and connections that we didn’t notice.
