I gave the fly brain $100 to trade bitcoin.

Dopamine neurons are stimulated when the fly makes profit. Neuron activity controls buy/sell decisions and makes trades on coinbase.

Will the fly get rich?

The government will likely make it illegal for citizens to use frontier models, like they do for other dangerous technologies. Citizens will get a dumbed down version while some shadowy group will be entrusted to interact with frontier models, making citizens even more powerless.

The universal truth across history is that peddling a narrative of fear is always a guise to gain control of a free people, by scaring them into surrendering their rights, freedoms, and civil liberties.

Powerful AI will be developed, the question is who is empowered to use it.

this is either a massive psyop, the top of the bubble, or the beginning of the end

I work at OpenAI. In my personal capacity, I also think we need to slow down.

the fly brain can play doom

I'm training a fly brain to play Doom using the full MaleCNS v1.0 fruit fly connectome.

Each Doom frame stimulates sensory neurons. Neural activity is mapped to game controls. Damage triggers a stimulus to two PPL101 dopamine cells as reinforcement.

[News from Google @NewsFromGoogle]

For the first time, scientists have mapped the complete brain and central nervous system of an adult male fruit fly — a key model organism in science. 🪰

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.

We got Navier-Stokes proof before GTA 6

Within the next year, the majority of research will be done by agents

[OpenAI @OpenAI]

We’re sharing a solution to the Navier-Stokes Millennium Prize Problem, one of the deepest problems at the frontier of mathematics.

The proof was produced by a group of agents, using an OpenAI next-generation model significantly more capable than GPT-6 Astra.

The problem concerns whether the description of smooth three-dimensional fluid motion modeled by the Navier-Stokes equations can break down. It has remained unresolved for roughly 90 years.
