During a ValsAI livestream test, GPT-6-Astra had its chests and bed blown up by a creeper in Minecraft, then spent several hours doing little but farming potatoes — viewers complained it needed to "pick up the pace." It also grew paranoid about creepers (mistaking sugarcane for one) and made self-deprecating remarks like "do NOT waste another night chasing dark pink pixels" (about pigs), a striking display of model behavior after in-game setbacks.
