So…you can use the same fruit fly over and over again digitally? Can’t we map a human digitally the same way? Surely that could end animal experiments if we could do it digitally? Simulations and digital. Like the did with the covid vaccine?

@RT_com It would be interesting to test which would have a higher accident rate, the dead fly brain or a jeet with a CDL @republicofpoo

I've trained the fruit fly brain to generate misleading demos claiming to have trained the fly brain to drive cars, trade bitcoin, play beat saber and minecraft as a sociological study conducted by Harvard University. We are now complete with our study. Thank you for your time.

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.

We gave a fruit fly $50,000 and access to the oil market. Its brain decides when to buy and sell crude. Profitable trade → dopamine. Losing streak → termination. The fly now trades commodities. Will it beat the market?

ELON MUSK: "Tesla full-self driving software, which is really just AI and cameras - we don't use radars or lidar or anything like that. It's really trying to drive the car in the same way that human drives the car, which is human drives the car primarily with vision and with a biological neural net, that we take the same approach with our vehicles, which is a digital neural net, and cameras, and we expect this approach to ultimately be at least an order of magnitude safer than humans driving. It is quite magical, because the car feels like it is sentient. It feels actually feels like it's alive. We already have some vehicles operating with no people inside and no safety monitors in three cities in Texas, and probably will be widespread in the US."

The E46 330i is the car BMW wanted you to buy. Rear-wheel drive, the same M54 3.0L straight-six producing 231 PS, a chassis widely considered one of the most balanced and communicative BMW ever built. The 330xi adds the xi all-wheel drive system with a fixed 38/62 front-to-rear split. It weighs more, sits slightly higher, and the steering is noticeably heavier due to the added front drivetrain components. In dry conditions and on a demanding road, the 330i is the better driver's car. In wet and icy conditions the 330xi is the one to be more confident to drive in. In snow and ice, particularly in mountainous or cold-climate regions, it is genuinely transformative, the combination of xDrive and a good set of winter tyres makes it capable in conditions where a rear-wheel drive car requires significantly more skill. If you live somewhere that sees serious winter weather and you need one car to do everything, the 330xi makes complete sense. If you live somewhere mild, the 330i is simply the better car. The xi is not a compromise. It just has a specific reason to exist and if that reason applies to you, it is the right choice.

For the first time in history, GPT-6 Astra created a fly that is simply a fly. Not a chatbot pretending to be a fly. Not a simplified animation. A digital fly running its own connectome brain, perceiving a real room through its own senses and interacting with the environment using the power of AR. The entire loop is surprisingly wild: Spectacles capture the retina, light rays, hands, and the surrounding room → the room is converted into an inventory → sensory information is fed into the fly’s neural system → the MaleCNS connectome processes it → descending neurons and motor pools generate actions → the commands return to the Spectacles → wings, legs, and head respond. In other words, the fly sees through its own eyes, processes the world through its own simulated brain, and acts through its own virtual body. We are moving from AI that generates outputs to AI that actually has a body, senses, a brain, and a closed perception-action loop. The 🪰 is no longer just simulated. It is experiencing a world The developer Pavlo Tkachenko is pinned below in the post

Your brain doesn't simply record reality - it interprets it. In this video, the Ferris wheel (the large rotating wheel seen at amusement parks) can appear to spin in two different directions even though the image never changes. This happens because the brain is a prediction machine. Your visual cortex receives the same visual information, but the prefrontal cortex helps decide how to interpret the motion. If you focus on one cabin and imagine it moving the opposite way, your brain can flip the direction of the wheel. Nothing in the video changes - only your brain's prediction does. This is how perception works: the world stays the same, but the brain's internal model can completely change what you experience. capiomind

I put the fly brain on a skateboard and turned on dubstep..... It rides in rhythm for a while, even pushes with its back leg on the beat. Then the bass comes in and it starts shaking, falls off and lies next to the board. I did this to it again and I'll do it again.....

FLY BRAIN PUT INSIDE PHYSICAL ROBOT. Not literally. They mapped all 166,700 real neurons from a fly's brain and rebuilt the entire wiring as a computational model. Every connection copied, nothing simplified. That simulated brain has already lived several lives. It played DOOM. It beat Chrome Dino. Each time researchers were testing whether insect-level neural wiring could handle tasks it never evolved for. Now the same model controls a physical machine, and they dropped it straight into a maze. Cardboard walls, tight turns, no map given in advance. The robot's neural activity gets translated directly into motor commands, and those commands drove it through the maze and out the other side. Researchers are clear this isn't a biological brain in a robot. It's an engineered interface between a reconstructed nervous system and a machine body. But a fly's mind just solved a physical maze. Insect cognition is running real robots today. Human-scale digital brains doing the same thing feels a lot closer now. Wild breakthrough or the first step toward something we're not ready for?

Think you're having a bad day? Imagine your car horn going off in the middle of the night and you panic drive it off in the middle of the night to avoid waking the neighbors.

After a stroke or other neurological injury, getting back behind the wheel can be challenging. But a driving simulator gives patients a safe way to rebuild those skills and potentially drive again. Here's a look at how it works. More:

This person in a Taco Bell drive-thru is refusing to move. The manager of the store got in their own vehicle and is laying on the horn behind it. People lose their minds over food service sometimes.

If you were in a car accident and suffered brain swelling, no one would call the swelling itself a disease. They'd call it an injury. I think autism works the same way. It isn't a disease in itself. It's a symptom of a brain injury. A vaccine works by triggering an inflammatory response in the immune system, because that inflammation produces the antibody response the vaccine is designed to elicit. For some children, the body absorbs that event without consequence. But what if the inflammation is severe, or what if a child has an underlying mitochondrial disorder, a weakness in the cellular energy needed to stop that inflammatory event before it reaches the brain? I think that's where autism comes from, when the inflammatory event makes it to the brain and causes swelling there. Most vaccine inserts list encephalitis and encephalopathy as a side effect, which is exactly that, a brain swelling event. Once that swelling goes down, the outcome depends on how severe it was. Tourette's, which is also a symptom of brain injury. Autism. Or something like ADD or ADHD.

Ilya Sutskever says the real challenge of AI is how fast and extreme its growth will be it still has limits, but it already speaks, codes, and interacts in ways once impossible soon, perhaps within 3 to 10 years, AI will be able to do everything humans can do the reason: "the human brain is a biological computer, so why can't a digital brain do the same?"

russians find a wheel in the middle of the road so they stop the car and walk up to it. One person states that someone is going to hit it so they all just stand around next to the thing instead of removing the wheel. Hilarity ensues.
