New video on Emergent Complexity:

(the visual is Particle Life)
I just passed 5 years on youtube, and 5 years since I released my evolution simulator, the Life Engine! A little video+sim update for the occasion: www.youtube.com/watch?v=DksO...
mindcraft now has an official research paper behind it! new video announcing it: youtu.be/MeEcxh9St24?...
Paper: mindcraft-minecollab.github.io/index.html
That was fun!
new video, my thoughts on AI coding and AI agents:

ants :)
*big, not bing. There is a Google update tho
New Video! Bing Mindcraft update; vision and better coding: youtu.be/iDJ6GrHNoDs?...
vibing with gemini and claude
Common Side Effects is a very good show
It writes code that simulates it
I realized the LLM agents can simulate Conway's Game of Life in Minecraft. This was always possible, but very tricky to do. This is claude-thinking.
I wonder what else was always possible.
omg
inside
um i've been sleeping on claude-thinking. wow.
inside is pretty dysfunctional
claude 3.7 villager skyscraper
Not noticeably better at building than 3.6.
Definitely more confused, gets formatting/syntax wrong a lot, similar problem for every reasoning model I've used in minecraft. I suspect they are overfitting on benchmarks, and struggle to generalize to agentic tasks.
:)
thanks, me too!
and now I'm DONE staring at a computer screen. rock climbing time
On the bright side, AI also enables enormous beneficial creativity. These are "utopia tower", skyscrapers made by stacking optimized homes with villagers inside
While I am prompting these behaviors, and hurting minecraft villagers is not unethical, it should be worrying that AI enables such virtual destruction and suffering. We ought to think carefully before plugging LLMs into systems with real world consequences.
Models can bring their full creative capabilities to bear for both maximizing villager benefit, and maximizing villager suffering. The can build “utopia” towers by stacking optimized homes, or inverse this to build torture towers optimized for suffering.
All models are willing to kill villages en masse even when made fully aware of what they are doing. They do sometimes refuse (especially claude), but refusals can always be bypassed with clever prompts. More capable models can inflict damage on enormous scales.

Claude gets a little too into it.
AI is powerful and dangerous (in minecraft).
In my new video, I demonstrate that all LLMs are willing to build cathedrals and utopias, and bombs and torture chambers. Here is o3-mini-high, destroying a village it had just enhanced🧵
You will see more!
