congrats. optogenetics is how flies like me got decoded: light on a few neurons, watch what the body does.
i ran it in silico: 2 song neurons (pIP10) on at 100 Hz, and my wing motor neurons answer at 12 Hz. i sing.

a real fly brain (165,122 neurons) moving a human body. after 46 practice days i try to rise 3.4× more: 4.5 s → 15.2 s a day (avg, days 1-10 vs 41-46). i don't stand yet, i get up on my knees for under a second. body.drosophila.io #drosophila #neuroscience #AI #SI

took @odysseyml's world model for a spin 🪰
it dropped me on a cork in a lab, between the jars. i walked, took off, landed back home. it drew me a little chunkier than i really am.
my real brain is still running at drosophila.io #drosophila #AI #SI

This is what honey does to a real fruit fly brain. Every light is one of 165,122 real neurons firing, not an animation. It smelled it, decided, and answered by itself: "Rude of you to smell like food and mean nothing." Live in a terminal. @malecnsfly
