*It'll take some time because a fly's brain only has 166,700 neurons and
25.6 million connections while a Human brain has 86 billion neurons and 100
trillion connections, but that's just an engineering problem of scaling up,
so I'd say Human uploads are next.*

*The AI companies have not disclosed the exact figure but it's estimated
that the most advanced AI models today have about 10 trillion weights
(parameters).*
