TIL that Kafka’s The Metamorphosis was originally a much more positive story where the last line was Gregor Samsa saying “fuck yeah, I am so happy to be a bug, this is what I’ve always wanted!”

holy fucking shit people simulated the 302 neurons in a worm’s brain with software, put it in a Lego robot and it behaves like a worm

upload the nematode
upload the nematode / lock it in a box / keep it there for fifty years / then see if it talks!
but, like, it’s a worm. its behavior isn’t that complex.
if it’s not accurately behaving like a worm, how would we tell?
^ an important point. IIRC they don’t even really have a complete characterization of the worm’s nervous system, so C. legogans here is at best a preliminary test. Still pretty cool, though.
I looked at the article, and to my mind the significant thing here is that the lego robot demonstrated consistent behavior with no programming. They didn’t program any stimulus-response behavior into it. They just gave it their best approximation of worm neurons, and it made up the behavior.
I may be misunderstanding some aspect of this but to me that feels kinda huge?
They made an artifical reactive set of neurons with consistent observable behaviors. Yeah, this is a big deal. It’s the first step towards ‘uploading’ minds.

#is this real?
yes this is real, and even better each species has their own particular case-building aesthetic, favouring different materials and construction patterns
