    We've uploaded a fruit fly. We took the @FlyWireNews connectome of the fruit fly brain, applied a simple neuron model (@Philip_Shiu Nature 2024) and used it to control a MuJoCo physics-simulated body, closing the loop from neural activation to action. A few things I want to

    “Mind uploading has been a science fiction, but now mind uploading — for a fly, at least — is becoming mainstream science,” -@SebastianSeung
    Scientists have traced distinct circuits of neurons through the fly brain, shown here in different colors.

    Why not faster drug approvals with clear risk labels: 'Experimental' (Risk Level 10), 'Moderate', 'Established'? Right now, we only get 'Established'. Knowing the level of experimentalness and risk category lets you choose your own path—more freedom to take risks and access

    It covers some of the difficult philosophical issues like copies, backups, and how it feels to have a family member that's 'dead' but also not dead. It covers speed superintelligence, they can run thousands of times faster or more, with some limitations. It's also just a

    I love looking back over scanned documents. something beautiful about analog documents that have been digitized. They will never fade, now forever searchable, copyable to live in multiple places, findable, accessible, tiny, to travel at the speed of light

    "Furthermore, the model does not account for the possibility of gap junctions, non-spiking neurons, internal state, or long-range neuropeptides, and assumes that the basal firing of each neuron is 0"
