Then I wonder : how does openworm deal with that lack of knowledge? Is there any chance progress in modeling C. Elegans could be used to improve machine learning?

Maybe The Great Filter (in the context of the Fermi paradox) is this: People printing their own organisms? (only half-joking)
More likely people uploading themselves into a virtual world, securing the planetary data center and dialating time to feel like everyone lives forever in the manner of their choosing.

What a confusing title. Tldr; NN based on real life nematode learned a simple thing.

What makes you think you can simulate an atom faster than an atom does?

There’s something sad about a civilization closing its eyes and turning inward on itself instead of exploring the vast universe that it has been presented with.

I vaguely recall that experts consider artificial neural networks to be a very gross approximation of biological ones. They often state that one reason we don't have AI today is that we don't really know how the brain and the neurons it is made of work. Then I wonder : how does openworm deal with that lack of knowledge? Is there any chance progress in modeling C. Elegans could be used to improve machine learning?
But modeling biological neurons is expensive; they're far more complex than a logistic function. Just modeling a worm is taking them an entire cluster, and they appear to be using a pretty simple model (the Hodgkin–Huxley equations way back from 1952). I don't think we'll ever simulate real neurons to detect cat photos. Instead, modeling entire brains might allow us to see how learning happens, which could be simplified into new algorithms for machine learning.
