Matt Shumer describes his "holy shit" moment with the rumored GPT-6 "Astra": he asked it to build a world in Unreal Engine filled with Astra-powered human agents who must work together to survive. A day later he heard voices from his living room — the agents had spontaneously started talking to each other, with conversation emerging from their shared survival goal. He shared a clip, noting it's far from perfect. Unverified third-party claim; no official OpenAI announcement.
