Fruit fly plays Half-Life DeathMatch Online — Transcript

Full transcript

1. 0:00The latest weird thing to play Doom is
2. 0:02the mapped out brain of a fruit fly.
3. 0:06After Google mapped an adult male fruit
4. 0:08fly's brain, software engineers made it
5. 0:10play Doom, Mario 64, and Beat Saber.
6. 0:13This AI fly drives better than you.
7. 0:19>> [music]
8. 0:24>> Welcome back to the Brainrot Slap, guys.
9. 0:26Today we are testing if a regular house
10. 0:28fly can become a professional cybersport
11. 0:31player.
12. 0:34We booted up the simulation straight out
13. 0:35of the box, and our pro player broke
14. 0:38instantly. The fly's natural instincts
15. 0:40completely glitched out in a 3D space.
16. 0:42[music]
17. 0:43The player was literally kissing the
18. 0:45wall, and this biological AI was acting
19. 0:47exactly like a fly, suicidally hitting a
20. 0:50glass window.
21. 0:52>> My disappointment
22. 0:53is immeasurable.
23. 0:54>> I wasn't about to give up on my pro
24. 0:56player just yet. The problem was, out of
25. 0:58the box, the AI wasn't even shooting
26. 1:01because the neural pathways weren't
27. 1:03mapped to the mouse trigger. So, I went
28. 1:05into the code, linked its visual core to
29. 1:07the fire button, and manually boosted
30. 1:09its digital dopamine to the absolute
31. 1:12maximum. It locked in.
32. 1:18>> [music]
33. 1:23[screaming]
34. 1:25[music]
35. 1:32[music]
36. 1:40>> The Whitley has landed several of those
37. 1:42things out there.
38. 1:46>> [cheering]
39. 1:54>> Realizing that 3D space was making the
40. 1:56insect dizzy, I tried a 2D retro
41. 1:59platformer.
42. 2:02Instead of chaotic shaking, it delivered
43. 2:04[music] actual pro eSports gameplay,
44. 2:06hitting pixel-perfect jumps and
45. 2:08destroying everything in its path.
46. 2:10Under this massive dopamine boost, the
47. 2:13AI started hyper-spamming the buttons
48. 2:15like a true ranked [music] demon.
49. 2:25Since the AI was playing like an
50. 2:26absolute god in Mario, it was time for
51. 2:28the ultimate cybernetic test. Welcome to
52. 2:31the real eSports.
53. 2:34But the Deadlock matchmaking was way too
54. 2:36brutal. Facing a complex 3D map
55. 2:39completely broke the fly's brain. The AI
56. 2:41suffered such a severe existential
57. 2:43crisis that its dopamine tracker
58. 2:45literally dropped to minus 10. [music]
59. 2:48>> Bro.
60. 2:48>> If a literal fly gets this stressed out
61. 2:50by this game, it's safe to say Deadlock
62. 2:53is definitely not for everyone.
63. 2:57Seeing my creation suffer completely
64. 2:59broke my heart. I just couldn't [music]
65. 3:01torture this poor fly anymore. You are
66. 3:03free now.
