I think this is the perfect example of how using Claude can trick you into thinking you've done something more impressive, when you're using it beyond your own understanding.

As far as I understand, you downloaded the structure of a neural network, ran it with essentially arbitrary weights, trained a classifier on the essentially arbitrary behavior, then simulated an approximation of that arbitrary behavior.

You could argue that there might be biases towards certain behaviors encoded in the connectivity, and I'm sure you'd be right, but your experiment is incapable of differentiating between those interesting behaviors and random noise. Especially because flies sorta act random anyway.
