๐จ Researchers just taught a digitized fruit fly brain how to drive a car.
They mapped the insect's entire neural network and hooked it up to a driving simulator. The fly is literally using its simulated neurons to steer the wheel and hit the pedals.
The hilarious part? It currently drives exactly like a typical BMW owner. It refuses to use turn signals and constantly crashes straight into walls.
Peak biological engineering. What should they teach it to drive next? ๐
๐จ This solo dev just printed $23,000 in 24 hours with a simple $5 app.
He took the folding screen animation from the new iPhone Duo and ported it directly to ordinary MacBooks. Itโs called Bendy. When you close your lid, the desktop visually bends, tilts, and blurs in real-time.
Simple, brilliant, and printing cash. Xiaomi is definitely copying this by tomorrow morning.
๐จ GPT-6 Astra just made traditional CAD software look like a joke.
A developer built an open-source toolkit that turns AI agents into full-blown mechanical engineers. You just describe the part you need, and the AI instantly generates a highly detailed, ready-to-print 3D model.
It exports to STEP/STL, auto-checks wall thickness and overhangs for 3D printing, and even searches for real-world screws and bearings to fit your design.
Text-to-physical-object is officially here. Are mechanical engineers in trouble? ๐
๐จ We are officially in a Black Mirror episode. Scientists just taught a simulated fly brain to play DOOM.
Project "DOOMFLY" uses a full neural map of a fruit fly. The game screen translates into neural signals, and the brain's reactions control the gameplay. They even feed it negative "punishment" signals when it takes damage to train its survival instincts.
If we are already doing this to flies, what happens when human brain mapping gets perfected? ๐
