Minecraft Reaches Black Mirror Stage After Fly’s Brain Transplanted Into Game

Following a breakthrough by Google Research, the internet believes a fruit fly's consciousness is trapped in popular games like Minecraft and Doom

Developers Use Google-Mapped Fruit Fly Brain in Minecraft and Beat Saber, Then Start Building It 'Fruit Fly Heaven'

Developers are turning a newly mapped fruit fly nervous system into a bizarre gaming experiment, using its simulated neural activity in Minecraft and Beat Saber before one programmer decided the digital insect deserved a peaceful 'fruit fly heaven'. The projects are based on MaleCNS v1.0, a detailed connectome, essentially a wiring diagram, of an adult male fruit fly's brain and central nervous system. MaleCNS v1.0 was publicly released in June …

Google mapped a fly's nervous system and developers are using it to play Doom

The MaleCNS v1.0 dataset, announced by Google Research late last week, includes more than 166,000 neurons from an adult male fruit fly. Google worked with HHMI Janelia Research Campus and other researchers on the project, using AI to turn millions of 2D images into 3D reconstructions of neural structures.Read Entire Article

After Google mapped an adult male fruit fly's brain, software engineers made it play Doom, Mario64, and Beat Saber

Still better than some of my teammates.

Google Mapped A Fruit Fly Brain, So Engineers Taught It To Play Doom

When Google released a complete 3D map of an adult male fruit fly’s central nervous system, scientists celebrated it for its impact on neuroscience. Software engineers, however, had other ideas by immediately putting the dataset of the fly to greater use: training it play video games like Doom, Super Mario 64, and Beat Saber. A quick word
