Fly-brain spiking neural network DJs better than humans? Authenticity questioned
TinfoilTricorn · x · 2026-09-16
A viral X post claims a spiking neural network modeled on a real insect connectome was wired into a DJ rig and beat-matched two 140 BPM tracks autonomously — 1,640 neural spikes in a 20ms window translating directly into cueing, EQ sweeps and backspins, with no human hands.
Repliers urge caution: if legit it's impressive, but sophisticated spoofing is rampant online, and the claim is unverified. The underlying point — even DJing's "human touch" may be automatable — is driving discussion.
