We put the fly brain into a casino 24 hours ago.
It started with 100 chips and itโs now up 700!
The fly isnโt following a list of pre-written bets. It has memory, a bankroll, and one goal: survive long enough to grow the stack.
Every round becomes new data. It records what it played, how much it risked, what happened, and how that decision affected its balance. Then it reviews the results, adjusts its bet sizing, and develops new strategies on its own.
In simple terms, it learns the same way a person would. It plays, remembers, notices what worked, and changes its approach.
It can move between games, manage risk, and build its own playbook over time.
Right now, its favorite game is Roulette.
For the first time, scientists have mapped the complete brain and central nervous system of an adult male fruit fly โ a key model organism in science. ๐ชฐ
Working alongside HHMI Janelia Research Campus and the scientific community, @GoogleResearch scientists and researchers used AI to combine millions of 2D images into 3D neural shapes, reconstructing a record-breaking 166,000+ neurons. This foundational map of the adult male fruit fly brain can help accelerate our understanding of the brain, and is a major milestone in neuroscience.
