I would not be surprised if AI is accidentally generated in a Minecraft game.
I can't disagree with that at all. Neither can any of my friends who I've introduced to it as well.

Ever since seeing these videos it makes me wonder if Minecraft will reach a point where the technology developed inside of it will begin to advance at a rate similar to our real life tech. Intentional or not on the part of Notch, it just goes to show how much ingenuity people really have with simplistic and limited resources at their disposal.

Either way it should be bloody interesting to see how far people take the ball and run with it.

My God... A computer within a computer? That's... I don't even know. Ingenious? Insane? Will we make the matrix INSIDE the matrix? XD
This ^^ combined with inception anything passed this and it's too far

....The video is not impressive, just a complete waste of time as it proves nothing.
And to say AI could be invented shows you do not understand in anyway how neural networks work.
Sarcasm is hard.
And if you're going to say that is a waste of time, then technically speaking, every single video game ever, is a waste of time.

I'm not being sarcastic.
It would be a complete waste of time to even try to make a NN in Minecraft. It would take thousands of hours to make and the speed would make it so that running it (presuming we are going for a backwards propogation network) would take probably years.
Play an FPS to improve your skill at it. All this proves is the guy can follow basic instuctions. I could train a monkey to do it, but you can't train a monkey to win Gran Turismo etc.
I was being sarcastic in my comment. Obviously AI won't be stumbled upon in Minecraft, but it'd be funny if it was. Hence: sarcasm.
This guy made a computer in Minecraft just to prove that he could, and probably because he felt like it. Its like the guy that made the Starship Enterprise. Does that accomplish anything? Of course not, but its fun and cool.
And judging by what he has said, he didn't really follow that many instructions because alot of his computer is unique and uncommon.
I'd say making a computer in Minecraft (even if it is just "following basic instructions") is much more difficult than Gran Turismo. Driving games are easy shit.

...You can't stumble upon AI...That's not how it works...
Why is it fun? It's mindless repetition.
Why is it cool? It obviously can be done and merely requires a rediculous amount of time. If you think it's cool then clearly you must thing digging 1 billion 15cm holes is cool as it is the same - mindless repetition.
What he did is extremely simplitic in terms of electronics. It is far, far simplier than you give it credit for. And saying driving games are "easy as shit" shows you clearly have played very, very few.
lol, you're still missing my point, so I'll say this as simple as I can.
AI is hard to get.
It won't be obtained in Minecraft.
It would be humorous if it was obtained in Minecraft.
Hope that makes sense.

Minecraft is fun because its a limitless sandbox game that only has 1 limitation: your imagination. If you don't enjoy it, then its not the game's fault.
Of course its simple in electronic terms, its a fucking video game. I think its cool that he made it despite his simple tools and materials, just like I'd be impressed at a man making a computer out of a few chunks of wood and some dead squirrels.

How to play a driving game:
Gas is here, turn is here, e-brake is there.
Get comfortable with how to drift, get familiar with levels.
Voila. Driving game mastery 101.

*so you don't miss my point again*
That was not sarcasm.
I am not saying driving games are hard.
I am saying driving games are easy.

How the hell does this work?

Can you make a computer out of rocks or something then?
Code is merely instructions on how to do something, which can be "run" on any machine that is capable of understanding the code, including a machine that consists entirely of a guy moving rocks :)

A giant penis? Who made a giant penis? Did it... 'work'? If so give that guy a medal! Oh and the CPU thing is pretty cool.

The intro course to computer-engineering would have been WAY more fun it they had allowed us to do this, instead of programming a spartan-board with vhdl.

"Next, implement a resetable binary-counter with a 7-segment output, BUT REMEMBER TO AVOID CREEPERS!"

I am at a loss for words. I saw this coming, but I didn't think it would be this soon.

There's a Dwarf Fortress computer too.

There's basically a Dwarf Fortress version of everything you can do in Minecraft, except instead of falling to your death from the top of some wires, an artist can't find a turtle shell and precipitates a murder cascade as survivors are picked off by wild mandrills. Okay that does happen, but only in multiplayer.

Minecraft and Dwarf Fortress are awesome is what I'm trying to say.

This is only a second level, we need to go deeper!

Seriously though, that's a freaking awesome build.

Wait, this has been don before. Whats the differance between this and that one made out of dirt blocks that streches into the horizon?
That one did calculations.

This one does calculations, stores the result, and does other calculations based on them.
Ah, thanks for clearing that up.


On the subject of amazing things on minecraft that involve circuits and wizardness. Anyone seen this?

When can we expect games like doom and pacman? I need a desktop pc in my fortress and underground sith-tempel-chilling room.

Wait until we start building minds inside of Minecraft. I think that'll be the point where the fat computer nerd who created us all comes down and says "l0lz"

That particular example was simply ripped straight from Yahtzee's Zero Punctuation review of Minecraft. Giant cock and balls made of gold, or some such.

"Another thing that I've done, but I don't know if it's unique, is that my buses are verticle. This means that they are only 1 block wide, but it does make my cpu very high," Salaja said. "I died many times by falling from the top."
Ah yes. "A fatal error has occured."
