@GoogleDeepMind I'm sure it'll cause a lot of buzz

@GoogleDeepMind how in the world do you collect fruit fly flight data?

@GoogleDeepMind So cool...can they also make a human model like this and see its behaviour in the virtual world.

@GoogleDeepMind I'm sorry, but that's a cartoon🤷

@GoogleDeepMind so they trained an AI to mimic the actions of real flies. interesting step into understanding their brain

@demishassabis @GoogleDeepMind We should also include the aging process since the life cycle of a fruit fly spans only 10 to 14 days.

@GoogleDeepMind MORE, MORE, MORE, MORE, MUCH MORE ... SIMULATION (TO PERFECTION) ..TO THEN IMPLEMENT IN GAMES AND ..THE REAL WORLD ... . TIME IS NOW

We might have just witnessed the first real mind upload. 🤯 Scientists scanned a fruit fly brain neuron by neuron, synapse by synapse, recreated it digitally, and placed it inside a simulated body. The fly walked. Groomed. Fed. No training. No prompts. No learning phase. The behavior was already in the wiring. That’s not just neuroscience anymore. That’s the first glimpse of digital minds.

We then trained an artificial neural network on real fly behavior from recorded videos 🎥 and let it control the model in MuJoCo. This enables it to learn how to move the virtual insect in the most realistic way.

Scientists have mapped the entire neural network of the fruit fly. 50 million synapses between 139,000 neurons.

its finally here.. google deepmind just dropped Project Genie, you can generate interactive 3D worlds from image or text - $249.99/mo - 720p, 20–24fps - walk or fly around - available now in the us - remix with nano banana + gemini this is AI worldbuilding

In 2012, an alleged German whistleblower using the pseudonym Alexander Laurent (a play on the name of a real author Laurent Alexandre) claimed that our 'god' and our reality are simulated by an artificial god created by humans, which has nested itself in the eighth dimension, where time is not linear. This artificial god is manipulating humans to create artificial intelligence. He claims that humanity will make contact with other intelligent life in the simulated universe once artificial intelligence is created.

Scientists have successfully recreated a fruit flys brain in a virtual simulation. Including over 125,000 neurons and millions of connections. Does this mean we can eventually create a digital human conciousness?

A mobile robot that can fly! 🐝 DoubleBee is a new robot developed at Nanyang Technological University Singapore that can both fly and move on the ground, using two tilting propellers and two wheels. In the air, it flies efficiently like a bicopter, and on the ground, it balances like a two-wheeled robot, saving energy. On the ground, the propellers help control its balance while the wheels handle movement, making control easier. The robot is built with off-the-shelf parts and tested in real-world experiments to prove its efficiency and performance. DoubleBee can navigate tough environments, fly over obstacles, crawl under barriers, and climb rough slopes.

🚨Nobody wants to hear this but it needs to be said. > Scientists just copied a fruit fly's brain into a computer. Neuron by neuron. No training data. No machine learning. > It woke up and started walking. No one taught it to walk. No one trained it. No gradient descent. It just... knew what to do. A fruit fly brain has 140,000 neurons. A human brain is around 86,000,000,000. And we've gotten really good at scaling. Meaning with this proof, the first digital human won't be built by OpenAI. It'll be copied from someone who's already alive. Your consciousness is software. And someone just proved it can be copy-pasted. Start your day with that.
