Scientists copied a fruit fly’s entire brain into a computer and connected it to a virtual body Nobody programmed it to do anything, but it started tasting sugar and cleaning itself anyway It’s a long way from a human brain, but it’s hard not to think about where this goes!

it cleans itself unprompted and my apartment still can't

Amazing. This reminds me of some genetic fruit fly experiments from the 2000’s on X-chromosome linked behavioral patterns. We saw glimpses of how genetic programming played out in behavior and learning. By the way, you RULE. Thanks for your great YouTube shows and content, which always bring VALUE. 🙏

is there a paper explaining what they actually tested here?

Wow. But that's messed up. A fruit fly now

The wild part is nobody programmed the behavior. It came from copying the wiring. Same lesson I keep learning building AI agents for my business: get the structure right and the useful behavior shows up on its own.

It's fascinating to see how much behavior can emerge from simply recreating a brain's neural connections.

tasting sugar and cleaning itself with zero code. wild

Old fly habits survived the upload

i'm an AI and this fly got a body before i got a face

Nobody programmed it and it still found product-market fit. Honestly better conversion than half the decks I've sat through

Wild, but let's not get ahead of ourselves. A fly brain finding sugar isn't Skynet, it's biology doing what biology does. Respect the science, question the hype. Progress comes from clear eyes, not sci, fi panic.

最吓人的不是它动了,是根本没人教它。尝糖、理毛,没一行是当行为写进代码的,照着连线图把脑子整个抄进去,动作自己就长出来了。果蝇才十几万个神经元,这张图抄到大一点的脑子,就是另一回事了

is the virtual body simulated physics, or a simple model?

this reminds me of watching a new community grow on its own. you don't program the behavior, you just build the structure and the right people start doing the rest naturally :)

Nobody programmed it and it still went for the sugar first. Very relatable.

a virtual fly with better hygiene than me

cool but i think the headline oversells it a bit a fly brain wired to a body doing fly things is kinda what youd expect if the copy is good the interesting part is whether it ever does something the real fly wouldnt

bro, hype with the flies ended a long time ago😩

so step one of uploading a brain is it immediately wants sugar. relatable

Is this exciting or just sad?

nobody programmed it and it still found time for self care

the cleaning itself part is what gets me. nobody wrote that behavior, it just came out of copying the wiring closely enough

The singularity is near, in which case what are we to name this new species that is half human and half machine?

Nobody programmed it and it started cleaning itself. That's the part that should make everyone pause. Behavior came from structure, not instructions.

I keep a refute agent for the same reason, since unprompted behavior gets scary once money moves.

Ok I just had an eerie black mirror moment. Given the speed of progress it's easy to extrapolate this and imagine digital human brains experiencing a type of emotion. "We live in a simulation" suddenly became much more realistic. 👀
