We could predict that if an ant encounter something very hot it will quickly withdraw from it, but we have no way of knowing if it experiences anything like pain. And it makes no difference how many different facts a Jupiter brain could keep in it's mine at the same time because it has no access to even one fact about the subjectivity of others, nor will it ever have one regardless of how smart it gets.
