September 3<\/a>.<\/p>\nInventive nerds then used the digitised neural network to power and navigate a wide variety of contraptions, apps and games.<\/p>\n
Creator Maxime Labonne hooked the mapped pathways up to a chess engine and pitted it against Claude Opus 5, which is one of the most advanced AI models on the market.<\/p>\n
The fly delivered a checkmate in just 11 moves.<\/p>\n
One engineer created a project called Stonkfly \u2014 giving the entity a $US100 portfolio and creating a way for it to trade crypto currency.<\/p>\n
The program simulated dopamine rushes for the fly when it made money on a trade for positive reinforcement.<\/p>\n
A Stanford student created a fighting game where she controlled one digital fly and the neural network controlled another digital fruit fly \u2014 and battled it in a king-of-the-hill style competition.<\/p>\n
She lost all 12 bouts.<\/p>\n
The fly has also hit the casino in a program called FlyJack. One engineer created a blackjack game for the fly-brain bets against a dealer.<\/p>\n
But the fly\u2019s success varies \u2014 like all gamblers \u2014 each time you run the experiment.<\/p>\n
Other users plugged the neural network into a variety of homemade robots, such as animatronic cats, crablike walkers and small drones.<\/p>\n
