Why it worked

The video leverages a novel and attention-grabbing concept (a fruit fly brain trading crypto) combined with a clear, concise explanation of the underlying technology and a tangible outcome (profit), making it highly shareable and engaging.

Summary

A simulated fruit fly brain was given $100 to trade Bitcoin on Coinbase, with its neural activity linked to live market prices. The experiment, utilizing wiring from Google Research and HHMI Janelia, successfully made its first $1 profit, reinforcing its trading decisions.

Product placement

Coinbase: it ACTS as the platform where the simulated fruit fly brain trades Bitcoin. Removing it would mean the simulated fruit fly brain cannot trade Bitcoin. Coinbase: it APPEARS as the platform where the simulated fruit fly brain trades Bitcoin. Removing it would not change what happens in the video. Bitcoin: it ACTS as the cryptocurrency being traded by the simulated fruit fly brain. Removing it would mean the simulated fruit fly brain is trading something else. Google Research: it APPEARS as the source of the wiring for the simulated fruit fly brain. Removing it would not change what happens in the video. HHMI Janelia: it APPEARS as the source of the wiring for the simulated fruit fly brain. Removing it would not change what happens in the video.

Original caption

What part of the crypto cycle is this? A Coinbase engineer wired a simulated fly connectome to live crypto prices and handed it $100. Price charts get converted into light that fires the neurons, a fixed readout turns that activity into buy, sell or hold, and profit stimulates 15 dopamine cells to reinforce whatever it just did. The wiring came from Google Research and HHMI Janelia, who published the first complete map of an adult male fruit fly nervous system on September 3, covering roughly 166,000 neurons and 125 million connections. Within a week, developers had it playing Beat Saber, parallel parking a Mini Cooper, and trading BTC, ETH and SOL. The dopamine loop rewarding an insect for a green candle is the same loop your trading app was designed around. One of you is being studied for it. #ai #crypto #Tech #finance #fyp
