Full fruit fly connectome with 166,700 neurons runs inside Minecraft to drive fly movement

A developer says they've run the full retained MaleCNS v1.0 fruit fly connectome — all 166,700 neurons — inside Minecraft, with the simulated neural activity driving the fly's movement; V1 is in development, code and mod coming soon, reportedly built with OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra. Meanwhile another developer is building a "fruit fly heaven" sim where the fly just flies freely forever, contrasting with the cruel Black Mirror-style experiments others inflict on it.
