Prompts = Instruct, Shop, Particle
‘May 23, 2020. Observation of Leafcutter ants, Day 30 after introduction of trained ants.
‘As feared, all of the ants except for one, trained to act selfishly, have been killed. However, the remaining ant holds promise.
‘Contrary to training, it doesn’t hoard food resources for the sole purpose of hoarding. Instead, it appears to have set up a shop, complete with counter. As proof, customer ants hand over small particles of currently unidentified material and the trained ant responds by giving food.
‘Suggest team focus on instructing a new batch of ants in this technique and deploy it in lab.’
