I'm back (for a moment)
This idea has been sitting on my hard drive for a while. I had a free moment to post it.

I just… Gah. +1.
And if the whole world is crashing down… fall through space out of mind with me.
+1 and now I gotta find my bug spray.
Damn.
Either that's good ant programming, or individual colonies create a self-aware AI…
We must have an interview log!
I second that opinion

Hm. The main body of the article is really mediocre. Generic uber-swarm with standard excessively nasty parasitic stuff, obvious invocation of entomophobia, etc. But the stuff with 2031-A is intriguing, and unfortunately follows from the lousy stuff.
So I think I'm going to remain neutral. I don't see how this could be improved, but the good stuff is just good enough to save the bad stuff.
Sounds pretty interesting. Artificial Intelligence? More like Ant Intelligence amiright? :D

Read this no more than fifteen minutes after spraying a colony of masonry ants infesting the garage. Can't decide whether to go look or not…

It's well-written, but the main idea here seems like SCP-by-numbers. It's a generic, deadly, parasitic insect swarm that puppeteers people in a body-horror fashion. It'd make a decent horror movie, I don't doubt, but it isn't fresh enough for me to like it as an SCP.
I was ready to downvote, up until the final part. It's well written, yes, as we've come to expect from you, but it was rather bog-standard. Scary, yes. Unique, not so much. But the last part, where the hosts retain their former personalities, really pulled it out of downvote range, and, hell, into upvote.
