Ha! And someone today at HN laughed at the research of monkeys playing with crystals...
Maybe one day we could communicate with monkeys with marbles and crystals and stuff as SIGN language.
Imagine monkey soldiers becoming reality in AI WARS.
Sorry to be the wet blanket. However research on monkeys/apes has for the most part proven that their intelligence is at a dead end and never can progress past what is basically around human 2yo level.
They could also be simply idle doodling or decorations.
Too bad we don't have a paper that applies information theory techniques to answer that question. Oh wait...
I remain skeptical. Pictures in clouds.
