Apparently an emulated Drosophila melanogaster brain made a fly-like body move in a simulation.
Watch the video closely. What you are seeing is not an animation. It is not a reinforcement learning policy mimicking biology. It is a copy of a biological brain, wired neuron-to-neuron from electron microscopy data, running in simulation, making a body move. The ghost is no longer in the machine. The machine is becoming the ghost.
The quote is from this article where you can also see the video.
I cannot evaluate the claims being made myself. Maybe somebody here can? The company that supposedly did this is called EON Systems and lists Anders Sandberg and Robin Hanson as advisors.

EON Systems published a blogpost where they explain what they did accomplish and how and what they did not accomplish.
