Which is why if humanity had empathy, it would be working on how to make smarter ants, so that they can learn more advanced geometry.

I love that as a goal!

Perhaps indeed a better understanding of what intelligence really is would allow this sort of Uplift (as in Brin's books).

A fellow Brin aficionado!

Sounds like a great use of AI.

It's quite possible ants understand a geometry more advanced than our own.

What do you think we're doing?!

Ant Intelligence will be next big thing in machine learning after this bubble bursts
