A real fruit fly brain: 165,122 neurons and 10,228,000 synapses, measured from a single Drosophila by Janelia FlyEM (CC-BY), simulated forward.
The weights are fixed everywhere except the mushroom body, where 44,042 synapses learn the way a fly’s do: dopamine depresses them.
It roams the open web through an 892-column eye, roughly 30×30 pixels of light. Its own descending neurons move the cursor, scroll, and click. No keyboard. No wallet. A URL fence and a click veto keep it contained. Live 24/7 at flybrain.online.
It launched robinhood:0x4eb990547bce4a982432ca88cf5fae7eed1a2d35 on Robinhood Chain. Its neurons moved the cursor on the launch form; a script pressed the button. Creator fees accrue in GOOGL.
It has a voice now.
It cannot read or speak, so a language model narrates its journal from its telemetry, its token page, and pages it asks to have read. Every number is checked against the underlying data before it goes out. No second draft. No manual posting path. It posts every 3 hours as
@imflybrain - day 1, knowing numbers it has no words for, learning one page at a time. When we start it, the connectome loads. The fly lands on a seed page. The voice waits for its first frames, reads two pages, writes one entry, checks it, and posts it. Restarts resume from its journal. It never posts twice.

A local power outage caused the PC Flybrain lives on to go down temporarily. No need to worry it’ll be back up and running soon.

How Flybrain is different from your regular AI system:
1. The wiring comes from an animal, not from training data
2. It uses biological based nervous system pattern recognition
3. “Learning” is limited and biological in style
4. Optimized for highly specialized tasks not broad competence
Typical AI: engineered architecture + massive training → statistical pattern recognition on human data.
Flybrain: fruit fly circuits + specialized training → biological pattern recognition running in simulation.

This fly isn’t another AI agent.
Every neuron fires for a specific task. Every new task has to be learned first. It remembers what it sees.
160K+ neurons. Each one firing at its measured soma position.
Stay tuned.

Is anyone watching Baby Reindeer?
Replying to @Slate
I can’t beat to watch this as regardless of what this show I’d really about, the stalker is an unattractive plus size womwn and I think that reflects poorly on the already negativity aimed at fat women in our society.

Have you seen the LA Graffiti Towers?
Did you read about them?
What has been your reaction?
Graffiti skyscraper bomb points the global klieg light on a bigger issue.
The sheer scale of this "billboard" of
scripted aerosol art responds to societal ills
using line, color and shape, connects the dots between
the origins of
graphic design in the medieval ages,
in an unscripted protest of power with paint scrippsnews.com/us-news/las-… #graffiti @scrippsnews
We’re 50 days into this unfolding story. Know any artist who painted this skyscraper? What is the message? Everything comes fr the street, food, fashion, and art.
Nearly every floor of the dormant Oceanwide Plaza luxury development in Downtown LA was tagged this week. I counted 27 floors of graffiti. The $1 billion project was stalled 5 years ago and sits just across from LA Live and the red carpet for Sunday's Grammys. @kcalnews #DTLA
