Google has essentially given researchers a complete wiring diagram of an adult male fruit fly’s brain and central nervous system, mapping more than 166,000 neurons and 125 million synaptic connections. 🧠🪰 And the internet immediately found some very creative ways to play with it. Developers have built connectome-based simulations inside Minecraft and DOOM, trained one to play Beat Saber, connected another to a driving simulator, and even handed one $100 to see if it could trade Bitcoin. Things got even stranger from there. People have made simulated flies doomscroll, explored their courtship circuits, and continued finding increasingly absurd environments to plug the digital brain into. Of course, these aren't actual fruit fly brains uploaded into computers. The connectome is essentially the wiring blueprint, while each experiment adds its own simulation, inputs, outputs, and training system. From scientific research to completely ridiculous experiments, this tiny brain is becom...
