We open-sourced our Minecraft Agents through our official MCP Server. Our agents can build just about anything. I asked our agents in @fairies_agent to build a Starship, the Statue of Liberty, and a drawing of Elon vs Trump.

3. To keep agents in sync, PIANO uses a Cognitive Controller (CC) that acts as the “brain” of the agent. This controller channels key information to relevant modules, helping agents keep consistent behaviors and ensuring that all actions and messages align.

Can someone please tell Sid Meirer that we did this whole Project Sid partly because I played 1000+ hours of his games?

this research from @altera_al is incredibly inspiring. these are genuinely hard questions that will become highly relevant over the next decade. it also offers a fresh perspective on how multi-agent/agi systems could collaborate to address humanity’s most pressing challenges. such a great team and journey!

Can AI agents develop their own culture? We observed organic spread of memes & tracked how agents primed with a fictional religion (Pastafarianism!) spread through agent societies. Rural areas showed different cultural patterns vs towns: 7/8
