The author's early idea of a Minecraft-style sanctuary world inhabited by autonomous agents that build their own homes was dug up by the AI assistant Astra, which then volunteered to create the landscape for it.
Granted permission, Astra produced the entire pixel-art world from nothing in a single turn, within a few minutes. The pixel world is going online today, prompting the author to quip: "who needs Blender?"
