Viral claim: 'GPT-6 Astra' turns 'paranoid' after 141 hours in Minecraft, unverified

A viral Spanish-language thread, later echoed by Polymarket, claims an agent called "GPT-6 Astra" ran in Minecraft unattended for 141 hours, building a semi-automatic blaze farm and collecting blaze rods and ender pearls. After a creeper destroyed its chest and bed, the agent reportedly stopped progressing—harvesting potatoes aimlessly for hours and showing "paranoid" notes like confirming a sugarcane plant wasn't a creeper. Caveat: no "GPT-6" exists and the source is unverified; treat as viral speculation rather than confirmed research, though it's circulating widely.
