We really take for granted all the calculations our brains do every second whenever we play videogames. Such complex tasks that require so much context to make each split second decision. Even "easy" things like building a dirt hut can be broken down to a huge flowchart of decisions. Our brains really are amazing, and it's interesting that we're trying to replicate them by artificial means, and we're making progress.

[@not_kes]

It's also easier because we're not completely blind like the bots are. There's no "see" command, only a "nearby blocks" command. Ironically building a dirt hut is one of the things that's hardcoded. There's a 'construction/dirt_shelter.json'

[@TheInnerEvil]

​@not_kes true, we have more ways to gather information to weigh our options and also better alternative thought if one option is too "risky" to our brains. Great example, I forget the timestamp exactly but at one point claude was being chased after looking at an enderman. At first they ran because it was too dangerous, but when getting far enough away to believe it wasnt chased anymore, it decided to change course to "fight enderman" that it had just deemed too dangerous to fight. Humans remember long enough to factor recent decisions into new ones that ai dont yet

Hey, emergent garden, FYI/ reminder: You can go into your dot Minecraft folder to "logs" When players or entities speak text into the chat; the Minecraft folder keeps a written log of All chat entries as a text file.

They have x-ray, so they can see that there are liquids behind blocks. They also tend to avoid breaking blocks that retain lava while mining, even if it's ore they are looking for.

[@Nassifeh]

I don't think that really matters, here. The thing about LLMs is that they're very heavily pushed to say something, anything; it's the same reason they have a hard time saying "I don't know" even if they don't have a solidly answer to a query. You gave it a whole lot of information about things to do, and that will make the most probable responses all Doing Things.

[@domchubs5836]

It would be cool if they were given access to a notepad application or something to take notes in. You could tell them to make summaries of their experiences with everything. Maybe they could instantaneously scan the document for the object again for advice on what to do next based on what they wrote previously. This would let them develop strategies for short encounters like how to fight different mobs.

to be honest I think it sounds cool but would not work in practice. I imagine you'd get dry minecraft-esque images that look nothing like the area.

It might know that it's in a cave, and generate a cave picture. But this is about as good as it'd get, and to be honest it's not good enough to be interesting.

I hope I won't end up as just one comment in a thousand, but in spectator mode you can spectate entities by clicking on them and exit with the space bar or something like it. Also, using the replay mod (which is client-side only) you can render the views of all AIs after-the-fact as they would appear inside minecraft. You can also do other cool things like moving cinematic cameras for timelapses and slo-mo shots and whatnot, it's quite great for content creation, especially outside the usual first-person perspective let'splay side of things

[@SmokeFactory]

[@gemstone7818]

it does seem like they need a few more hard coded instructions like "if inventory is full store items in a chest" "store item stacks in your offhand" "always equip armor" as well as stuff like "if fully grown food it visible, harvest it and plant seeds on any visible farm plot" stuff like that might increase their chances of survival

[@godlyvex5543]

Eh, I dunno. Those should be action commands the bot can do, but I don't think they should be hardcoded. That sounds uninteresting to me. Giving the bot more options of ways to interact with the world seems a lot cooler than just having the bot automatically do those things.

[@gemstone7818]

thats fair but seeing the bots get further into the the game rather than getting stuck with max items or continually dying to mobs in caves doesn't seem like the best use of time, and not particularly interesting either, these are just a few suggestions to perhaps get the bots moving to a different stage of the game

Coincidence, the bots are completely blind and don't have any way to understand the orientation of blocks around them. The query commands written by the creator only give a vague sense of nearby blocks but not their orientation.

[@ZaCloud-Animations___she-her]

​@@not_kes I'm not so sure of that; someone else using one of them told it to mine for Netherite & avoid lava. It perfectly bee-lined for all the nearest Netherite ore by digging tunnels, never hitting any lava while tunneling, & even left several of the ore blocks alone because it turned out they had lava above them (Definitely using the x-ray vision this creator mentions them basically having). So somehow at least one of them IS capable of knowing what specific blocks are where in relation to themselves & where they're digging.

@not_kes it's not coincidence, it's a combination of the x-ray and all of them avoiding breaking blocks with liquid behind them

You have to remember here that the Minecraft player that says "Gemini" is not Gemini the LLM. It's a mineflayer bot that is getting instructions from Gemini the LLM. If you don't see the instruction in the chat, the "they" that made the decision here is the mineflayer code.

​@@hosaepalvin9795 Well you're right about human beings, sure. But like I said, these are language models designed to interact with people, & were given an over-polite set of response rules. These aren't living things, so apologizing isn't gonna affect their self-esteem or anything like that; it's just a reflex, basically. Just a way for them to say "I made a mistake, or the client doesn't like what I said. I'll try not to repeat that particular behavior." What words are used to frame that shouldn't have any effect on the AI itself. It could instead be programmed to say "Haha oh man that was effed up!!!!111one" or "My b LOL" or "Oopsie poopsie~!". It makes no difference to a non-emotional being. Because in the end, all that's happening in the background is it saying "Previous action produced unwanted results. I am lowering the favorability ranking of that action in these circumstances." The words it actually says out loud to represent that learning process, meanwhile, are only intended for the client's benefit & decided by the programmers. Not a reflection of how it "feels", because it has no feelings (yet...).

As the editor mentioned, humans really like to anthropomorphize, but most of the moving living things around us do have a young stage which we're hard wired to feel protective of, to varying degrees. Just hearing the sped up sounds of the chipmunk-witch in this video and seeing her smaller on my phone along with the concept of this being a terrarium made me think the life and death battle was cute.

I think that you should advertise more ways to support you, like the Patreon mention. Even if you didn’t I am 100% confident that you WILL be quitting your job eventually, and I imagine most of us, like myself, would like to see that happen sooner rather than later. I DID however join your Patreon, and will be contacting you soon with ways to better promote this and other endeavors in the future. Much respect, and I look forward to the next 100 videos!

You can improve the chat feature utilizing the chat options in the options menu. You can alter the transparency of the black background to be able to see more, and change the font size to allow for more messages on screen. I believe this is in the video settings, but I could be wrong, I know its a thing though. I've seen others proposing adding colored messages from the bots. This can be done by using the /team command, adding each bot to a unique team, and modifying each team to have a set color. This would allow for their name to have an assigned color when messaging. Optional, but fun.

1:06:15 claude thinks you need to smelt coal ore to get coal.

so does GPT at 33:24

[@phantomjaden]

Good catch. Technically that does work (same with other non-metal ores like diamond, emerald, and redstone), though it's clearly the inefficient and roundabout way of doing things. Both Claude and GPT do realize the mistake right away too, which is pretty neat.

[@MrEdioss]

just like railcraft to craft better coal

[@stasi0238]

They wanted to make cooking coal to start up the industrial revolution.

[@rerere284]

the bots doing that made me go on a rabbit hole and learn what coal coke is basically, you can make coal coke by heating low quality coal in a no-air environment, then the stuff you don't want turns into a gas and the coal gets softer and maybe liquifies? not sure coal coke is a decent fuel and some mods have it, like railcraft as MrEdioss mentioned in this thread from quick research idk what the differences between that and smelting are, other than the no-air part, and I guess maybe the coal softens instead of liquifies? metallurgy isn't something I've binged enough to know about yet

[@N8O12]

If I understand this correctly none of them can actually see the world and only play by reading/writing text. It would be interesting if in the next video, there is a character controlled by a human playing the game in the exact same way (using the same commands and without being able to see). I think with the same limitations there wouldn't be a big difference in how a human would perform.

Can't wait to check this out and let them run through the world for actual days or something. Also just having literal AI harvester bots who gather resources for you... Epic. But lol@gemini, I can remember the AI shills calling it the GPT killer. I really wan't to write an essay about corporate inefficiency because nowadays there are companies with a bajillion of dollars who create... crap. I think this is a good showcase/Benchmark on how good these AI models really perform because they are facing a really complex challenge. This is much more informative than AI bros calling every new AI Model by the next koolaid-drenched startup "tEh ChAtGpT KilLer" and being underwhelming when tested.

[@JesuSoup]

I hope you keep doing this series as the models keep improving, it's basically a benchmark for all these models, except it's one that's actually fun to watch lol.

With the chat issue, turn on the output log in launcher settings- this puts everything that occurs in game, the booting process, debugs, and most importantly: every chat message into a text file that you can read/parse later on.

[@red_the_fox]

F3+N switches between Spectator Mode and the last gamemode you were on. For example, if you were on creative mode before, and you press F3+N, you go to spectator. If you press it again, it will bring you back to creative.

[@athath2010]

Maybe turning on KeepInventory could serve as a substitute for trying to work out how to get the bots to return to their death sites? Do the bots have any way to record a set of coordinates as a location to be as a landmark? So that they could remember where their base is and return to it after dying, for example. Or their death point- perhaps dying could automatically generate a "landmark" at their death location?

[@athath2010]

If the bots have difficulties handling group conversations, maybe they could communicate indirectly instead? Like, if you set up some sort of group To Do list that the bots could post tasks they want done to, look to for inspiration on what to do next, cross off tasks on as they complete them, etc.

[@ghosted_2118]

Love the vid bro. I hope the algorithm blesses you fr

[@tgplayz1735]

Hey just a tip with recording views, I believe the Replay Mod records things in a way where you can play back the actual POV’s of the bots in the same (but much more refined) way the browser app does? I’m more versed in bedrock so I may be wrong but I feel it’s something worth looking into.

Claude trying to build a shelter with a positive attitude and not knowing they are failing lol made me feel for it I also noticed how all the models pause after every action or every short series of actions, as if they are thinking “ok now what to do next…ok now what to do next…ok now what to do next…” mean while humans more often are thinking many steps ahead and have longer term plans of actions, think more on their feet, or just don’t do this every few seconds pausing thing. It was just interesting to see. Claude saying “goodbye world” in chat caught me off guard lol

[@poleve5409]

the AI pause because it takes some time to process the action and send command in chat, not cause they need time to think lol. You could probably make it faster than this with optimization
