GPT-6 Astra plays Minecraft autonomously for 141 hours
Independent evaluator Vals AI had Astra play Minecraft autonomously for 141 hours, after which it expressed low-mood language over being stuck and reassured itself that the tall green thing ahead was sugar cane, not a creeper.
This is crazy! GPT-6 Astra autonomously spent 141 hours playing Minecraft and got depressed because of a creeper. Yes, you read that right. An AI got depressed because it couldn't go beyond a level in Minecraft. At one point, it started reassuring itself by saying, "Green tall thing ahead is just sugar cane and not a creeper." This practical test was done by Vals AI, an independent AI evaluator. https://x.com/ValsAI/status/2099975445299200470/video/1
