A FLY BRAIN COULD CHANGE HOW BITCOIN MINING WORKS. Researchers FutureBit introduced HashFly, an experimental Bitcoin miner built around organic neurons from a fly brain. The idea sounds crazy, but the efficiency claim is even crazier: ~1 watt per terahash if scaled to real organic neurons. That would be... show more

@FutureBit It's just matter of time until they wire up monkey brains for AI interference or to mine bitcoin, and after this ... we get matrix. We live in a simulation anyways, so this is simulation within simulation; kinda like in inception movie, but it's a reality not a dream.

@FutureBit we're already closer than people think, live monkeys wired to computers for brain-machine research has been happening for years, mining bitcoin with a biological brain is just a weirder use case waiting to happen

@FutureBit Organic-neuron mining is intriguing, but reproducible efficiency benchmarks matter more than novelty.

@FutureBit Exactly. The concept is fascinating, but real-world benchmarks will show whether biology can actually beat silicon

197.4 kH/s is the actual measured number in that screenshot. A modern ASIC does ~200+ TH/s — nine orders of magnitude higher. ‘If scaled to real neurons’ is carrying the entire claim, and nobody’s shown that biological spike rates scale linearly rather than hitting a wall from noise, timing jitter, or interconnect at any meaningful hash rate.

@FutureBit Fair point. The scaling assumption is doing a lot of work here

Scientists used 200,000 human brain cells to play DOOM. The cells had never seen a computer. They learned in real time. They got better. Separately: an entire fruit fly brain, 139,000 neurons, 50 million connections, was copied into a laptop. It predicts real brain responses with 90%+ accuracy. The biological computing timeline: 2021 → neurons learn Pong 2022 → fruit fly brain fully mapped 2024 → entire fly brain simulated on a laptop 2026 → human brain cells play DOOM A GPU needs ~700W to run an LLM. The brain runs the whole show on 20W. We're spending trillions on building the next giant AI training computer but what if the solution to our energy needs was just copying the technology already running in our heads?

SOMEONE UPLOADED A REAL FLY BRAIN TO GITHUB. IT IS TRADING CRYPTO RIGHT NOW. This is not an AI. An actual mapped biological connectome (166,700 neurons) is doing real work across 5 insane open-source repositories. 1. stonkfly (646 stars) A fly brain trading Bitcoin. It watches BTC charts through digitized eye cells and places orders via Coinbase API. Profits trigger virtual dopamine neurons. 2. desktop-fly (946 stars) A 3D fly living on your desktop. 668 neurons dodge your mouse cursor using real biological escape circuits. 3. doomfly (263 stars) Plugging raw DOOM pixels directly into optical cells. It failed the learning benchmarks, but the open-source repo is live with all data. 4. fly64 (38 stars) The fly brain plays Super Mario 64. Firing escape neurons forces Mario to jump. Zero machine learning, just mapped biology. 5. ommatid (brand new) A 165,000 neuron connectome running on a basic Raspberry Pi, navigating a physical six-legged robot using a live camera feed. The entire Drosophila connectome is completely free under CC-BY licensing. Full list of repos in first reply ↓

THE FLY BRAIN ESCAPED THE COMPUTER. I PUT IT INSIDE A PHYSICAL ROBOT. Scientists released a reconstructed map containing 166,700 neurons from a fruit fly. I connected it to a Strandbeest. The panel in the top-right shows the simulated brain running. Its neural activity is translated into motor commands that move the mechanical legs below. The catch: this is a computational model built from biological wiring. I engineered the interface connecting its outputs to the robot. First, the fly brain entered DOOM. Then it played Chrome Dino. Now it has a physical body. 166,700 neurons. 25 million connections. One nervous system walking through the real world.

Parasma Founder & CEO Sean Cole, who previously went viral for training human brain cells to play Doom, says that using them for compute could be far more energy-efficient than today's silicon chips. "Regardless of how efficient we make silicon, we still haven't solved the efficiency aspect of it, in terms of power efficiency." "I think human brains are extremely power efficient in comparison to silicon." "There are things that we can harness [with human brain cells] on top of other stuff like sample efficiency and continual learning."

I GAVE A DRONE THE BRAIN OF A FRUIT FLY Not a toy network with a handful of fake neurons. The actual wiring diagram of a real fly. 166,700 neurons, 25.6 million connections, mapped one synapse at a time. I call it FlyDrones. The drone's camera becomes the fly's eyes. Motion lights up the same neurons a real fly uses to see. Spikes race through the connectome down to the neurons that drive the wings. Those spikes become throttle and yaw. The brain has zero lines of flight code, just wiring. Swing a fly swatter at it. If the giant fiber (the fly's escape neuron) fires in time, the drone dodges. Open palm, fist, rush at the camera and it reacts like a fly. Built for Tello, Crazyflie, ArduPilot/PX4 and Betaflight quads via ESP32. Code is MIT, powered by Claude. Fork it and give your drone a brain.

EINSTEIN’S BRAIN AND THE NEURONS THAT TAUGHT THEMSELVES PONG When Einstein died, scientists studied his brain to see what set it apart. Most of it looked ordinary, except for one thing: the folds. His brain had far more of them than average. More folds meant more surface area, and more surface area meant more neurons. The difference was concentrated in his parietal lobes, the regions tied to math and spatial reasoning. Genius left a trace, but it was subtle, hidden in structure rather than size. Decades later, another mystery arrived. In 2022, researchers at Cortical Labs grew human neurons in a Petri dish and wired them to a chip running the game Pong. There was no human player, no brain, and no mind, just cells, signals, and feedback. Yet somehow, the neurons learned. The longer they played, the better they became. That forced an uncomfortable question: how does a group of disconnected neurons know how to play a game it has never seen. The answer is still unclear. Einstein’s brain revealed how intelligence can be built. Source: Joe Rogan

$BRAIN just got a real brain. v0.4.0 runs the full MaleCNS v1.0 connectome: 166,700 neurons and 124M synapses firing in one spiking simulation. Camera motion now reaches identified fly visual neurons, travels through the wiring, and triggers real escape and steering circuits that produce motor commands. The loop already runs up to 6.5x real time on an RTX 3050. Shuffle the connectome and the behaviour vanishes. The wiring is doing the work. Next up: transaction → sensory neurons → 166,700-neuron brain → movement

Dyno Therapeutics co-founder Sam Sinai on how his team cracked the blood-brain barrier well enough to reach 50% of neurons with a single injection: "For brain specifically, the brain has this extra layer of defense called the blood brain barrier. It's really put there to prevent anything to get in." "What we have done is actually in primates we can show that we can get up more than 50% of neurons, through a systemic injection." "You're just injecting in the veins, and then the virus actually makes its way into the brain." "Neurons are a primary target, but it could be in some cases glial cells, depending on the disease. Solving pan brain, meaning all of brain delivery, is a key objective there."
