Pietro Schirano(@skirano):Once upon a time, I dreamt I was a fruit fly, fluttering hither and thither, to all intents and purposes a fruit fly. I was conscious only of my happiness as a fruit fly , unaware that I was myself. Soon I awaked, and there I was, veritably myself again. Now I do not know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a fruit fly , or whether I am now a fruit fly , dreaming I am a man.

I’ve successfully run the full retained MaleCNS v1.0 fruit fly connectome, all 166,700 neurons, inside Minecraft, with its simulated neural activity driving a fly’s movement. V1 Currently in development. Built with the help of GPT-6 Astra. Props to the @OpenAI team and @thsottiaux for this release. Code and mod coming soon!
