166,700 fruit fly neurons fly three drones with no flight code, using the full connectome

A developer plugged three copies of the fully mapped fruit fly brain (166,700 neurons, 25M connections, open-sourced connectome) into drones: camera input acts as the fly's vision and neural output drives throttle directly—no flight code, no PID tuning. One drone hovers, one slips past a chair, one descends. It's a computational model, not a real brain, but the wiring is biological and requires no GPUs or training.
