We spent decades mapping 166,000 neurons and the internet immediately made the fly play Doom, trade Bitcoin and parallel park. Honestly, that’s the most human possible response to a neuroscience breakthrough. Give us the map of a brain and within 48 hours someone will ask whether it can run Doom. Next milestone: the fly gets a LinkedIn account.
Isn't the issue that we don't know how and why neurons fire? We can scan the brain all we want, but if we don't know how it actually works, then it doesn't matter.
Expected salary: a droplet of sugary water per day.
That's 15-30 drops of sugar water. Aint nobody able to afford that!
In this economy!?
Roko's Basilisk is actually just people on the internet making a simulation of your brain play Doom.
Any fly brain that digital can't fly... all they know is play Doom, trade bitcoin, cut doner kebab and lie.
Brain rot comes for us all, human or fly.
