I simulated the full FlyWire fruit-fly connectome and asked it to complete World 1-1 in Super Mario Bros. 3 using chessfly as inspiration. Technical ingredients:

  • 138,639 LIF neurons
  • 15.1M connections
  • 10,855 visual-input neurons
  • 41,692 central/descending readout neurons
  • PPO + self-imitation
  • 378,000 training decisions
  • Every attempt started at the beginning Its greatest discovery was that pressing A forever is technically a policy. It crossed the first pipe occasionally during exploration, reached a best distance of 2,083, then converged to jumping vertically while forgetting that Mario can move right. So no, a fruit fly cannot play Mario 3—at least not before becoming emotionally attached to one particular patch of ground. submitted by /u/Inevitable_Emu2722
