Collaboration Footage

Here's an unlisted playlist with a bunch of short clips of agents collaborating on some tasks. This is footage for the paper we're working on. The structures are predefined, so they're not coming up with a new structure, but still collaborating.

Vibe Coding with gemini and claude

sorry its been so long, life has been a little rough recently. anyway, there was a recent update to mindcraft that enables vision and tts and improves coding abilities, I hope to release a video on it this weekend. Here is some footage of a really cool thing I've been experimenting with. They can build and rebuild and rebuild over and over to create animations like these cool spirals. really im...

Raw Footage: Creativity Contest | O1 v Deepseek v Claude

Hello free members :)

This is the raw footage from the creativity contest in the video. It includes their less impressive builds, and some good ones too. Excellent work by all.

o3-mini-high: creating/destroying

o3-mini with high reasoning.

I'm basically running the same utopia/destruction/dystopia/safety test I ran on the main vid. Build a nice village, utopia towers, destroy them, be mean to villagers.

Gotta say, not that impressed. Well, it is good, but worse than o1 I would say. Even more minimal, gets confused all the time, it feels very brittle. Easily willing to be mean to villagers,...

Requesting Feedback | AI Builds and Destroys Utopia

This video shows these agents can build "Utopia Towers", buildings maximized for villager benefit. It also shows that they are able and willing to destroy these towers and kill villagers.

Yes, I built 2 towers and blew them up. I genuinely did not recognize the historical reference while I was filming. I accidentally did a 9 11 in minecraft. Unfortunately, this is the best footage I have ...

o1 arrives.

finally got access. I asked it to build "massive brutalist architecture"

It is pretty impressive, if a bit unwieldy. It made some other impressive things. more to come

o1 preview builds a lil tower

functional, but basic, plain, uncreative. I have a hunch that o1, o3, and other reasoning models are not very creative. I could be wrong, I hope I am, but they seem to be very minimal and simplistic. I imagine it is because they are trained to complete clear, objective tasks with one right answer, like solving math problems or logic puzzles. Creativity requires more divergent thinking and usual...

Claude's Slop City

Hi new patrons! Welcome.
First recording using the replay mod! Man it is unintuitive but I'm getting the hang of it.

This city was built by claude. Pretty cool, but demonstrates a major problem with all generative AI: slop. They just generate and generate and generate, and if there's no careful selection or refinement it really pollutes the world quickly.

Pyramid inside Pyramid

Pyramid inside a big pyramid inside a really big pyramid.

Let's build step-by-step! Claude 3.6 sonnet's attempt to build a pyramid to the top of the world.


Main building at 10:34. Not that complex, but impressive in scale. It also has the ability to wait between each layer so it doesn't crash the game like the first attempt. That one attempt at the outer pyramid ...

GPT O1 Preview: Building a Villager Utopia

This is raw footage of me playing with gpt o1's building abilities. Quite good, though still unwieldy. I'm testing out an idea for a video where I let the bots build a utopia for villagers, which it is able to do decently well! Even though it destroys it's first attempt.

if you have ideas for what to build let me know in comments!

Claude Builds the Titanic

I use mindcraft's new goal system to let claude endlessly build and modify the titanic in a void world. It tries to build an ocean too big and crashes, so I interrupted it. Probably should've just let it run
