A Fly’s Brain Is Running in a Computer… Human Brain Is Next? 💀

Scientists have mapped a fruit fly's brain in incredible detail and are using that information to build computational models of its neural network. And honestly… I have only one question: When is it our turn? 😂 Because if this technology keeps moving forward, maybe students won't need to spend years studying anymore. Imagine the future: 👨🏫 Teacher: "Have you studied AI?" 🧑🎓 Student: "No."…

Scientists have mapped a fruit fly's brain with remarkable precision, creating detailed computational models of its neural network. This level of detail raises an intriguing question: when will we be next in line for such a technological advancement? While it's clear that a fruit fly's brain is vastly different from a human brain, and we're nowhere near uploading human consciousness, the potential implications are nonetheless fascinating.

Imagine a future where students no longer need to spend years studying to gain knowledge. Instead, their brains could be trained directly through AI technology. Picture a classroom scenario: the teacher asks about a subject, and the student replies that their brain has been trained using AI, with no need for traditional education. It's a humorous yet thought-provoking vision.

The future learning process could revolve around training the brain through AI, downloading knowledge directly to the mind. No more exams, assignments, or struggling to remember information. In this scenario, "Congratulations! You now know calculus, Python, quantum physics, and how to fix production bugs" could be a common message upon waking up.

However, it's essential to keep things in perspective. A fruit fly's brain is far removed from a human brain, and we're a long way from simulating the human brain or uploading consciousness. For now, we'll continue with the traditional methods of learning. AI training our brains is not yet available in settings, but the idea remains an interesting one to ponder.

How i learn to how to learn?!😵

I learned about HTML, CSS, JS. Mostly I start learning using tutorials. Yeah, it's hell. At the end of the video, I learned about nothing, just a few pieces of memorized knowledge.

  • Learner acquired HTML, CSS, JavaScript skills through tutorials.
  • Dev challenge taught problem-solving without AI assistance.
  • Advice: Study others' code, utilize resources like w3schools and MDN.

The new cybersecurity playbook

Cybersecurity has decisively moved out of the server room and into the boardroom. As attacks increasingly threaten operations, revenue, reputation and customer trust, organisations are being forced to…
