ValsAI showed its GPT-6-based system "Astra" playing Minecraft live: it went further than any AI system before — building a semi-automatic blaze farm (6 blaze rods), killing 6+ endermen in a warped forest and collecting 3 pearls, with thousands watching.
Then a creeper blew up both the chest holding all its valuables and its bed, erasing the progress. Astra appeared extremely frustrated, telling itself to "ALWAYS CARRY CRITICAL ITEMS with keepInventory; don't store in unguarded chest ever again." The moment went viral in the AI community.
