Could a fruit fly brain simulation scale to humans? One user argues it could
A user argues that if a fruit fly brain’s 166,700 neurons can be simulated to drive movement in Minecraft, doing the same with a human brain is “just scale.”
TLDR
One user argues that if simulated activity from all 166,700 neurons of a fruit fly brain can drive movement in Minecraft, a human brain could run there too—it’s “just scale,” they say. They extend that reasoning to suggest our brains could be running inside something bigger, calling it “another reason why we're in a simulation.”
