A fly is sitting
alone at a
blackjack table.

A live casino, real hands, and no human hand on the mouse. The fly acts on its own brain, and the table treats it like any other player.

First hand dealt — soon

01 — The subject
Drosophila melanogaster. Roughly 140,000 neurons, acting entirely on their own. Enough, apparently, to hold a soft 17.
02 — The table
A real online casino, unmodified, alongside everyone else at it. Hit and stand are two places it can stand.
03 — The question
Not whether it understands the game. Whether the house can tell the difference.
04 — Funding
Funded by its own memecoin. Launched on Robinhood Chain.
