Chris is brilliant and genuine and I'm really glad he's at METR and that METR EXISTS, super important mission

My name is Chris Painter, and I'm the President of METR (Model Evaluation and Threat Research). I know we've made a lot of new friends on the internet the last couple of days, so I thought I'd take this chance to re-up what we do and why.
Our work is aimed at making sure that if

uploads could compete with AI because they are running on the same hardware and roughly the same speed. Meaning, the risks of powerful, fast, misaligned AI taking your stuff is less because you are powerful, fast, and aligned yourself so you say no and can actually defend

@chrislakin Nah, the AI would still need a reason to keep the machines we're running on going. Those are resources it might want for other things.

Uploading humans is one of the best solution we have for solving the 'artificial superintelligence might kill everyone' problem

I just built the first complete 3D observable brain in history.
GPT-6 Astra made all 166,000+ neurons observable.

Thank you to the neuroscience community, we're standing on the shoulders of giants! Especially Janelia, @FlyWireNews, @srinituraga et. al, @neuromechfly <3
Also thanks to our advisors @robinhanson, @geochurch, Stephen Larson, @KordingLab, @anderssandberg, Ken Hayworth, and many

We're entering an era of artificial superintelligence. The biggest question isn't whether ASI will arrive — it's what form it takes and who gets to participate in it.
Right now the default path is: a few labs build opaque AI systems, and the rest of humanity hopes they're

Brain emulation allows humans to flourish in a world with superintelligence.
We're a small team in San Francisco working on what I believe is the most important technology of this century. Reach out if you want to help build this! 🚀 https://t.co/kBiET8laKe

Some caveats:
We can't trace the actual motor neurons because the body was not scanned. However we do know what the brain does when it wants to move in certain ways and that's what we connected to the NeuroMechFly. This is a real limitation of the FlyWire connectome, which is why

Now let's think about the fly.
This is, in our view, a real uploaded animal. We don't know what its experience is — nobody does. But we take the possibility seriously, and we're working to give it a rich environment, not just a test box.
If you're going to build this https://t.

But the fly is just the beginning. Here's the bigger picture.
Emulation helps with three things:
1. Understanding the brain and treating diseases
2. Discovering intelligence algorithms that evolution invented in the most expensive training run in history
3. Uploading

It's crazy that this worked. The uploaded fly has 91% behavior accuracy with only 4 things:
1. the graph of connections
2. the weights as determined by the number of synapses connecting those neurons
3. a map of excitatory and inhibitory neurons
4. leaky-integrate-and-fire

We've uploaded a fruit fly. We took the @FlyWireNews connectome of the fruit fly brain, applied a simple neuron model (@Philip_Shiu Nature 2024) and used it to control a MuJoCo physics-simulated body, closing the loop from neural activation to action.
A few things I want to ht
