I’ve successfully run the full retained MaleCNS v1.0 fruit fly connectome, all 166,700 neurons, inside Minecraft, with its simulated neural activity driving a fly’s movement.
V1 Currently in development. Built with the help of GPT-6 Astra.
Props to the @OpenAI team and @thsottiaux for this release. Code and mod coming soon!
dude GPT-6 Astra is some kind of turbo-AGI machine god for 3D games. It one-shot this in 45 minutes for hardly a couple % of my quota.
I figured out how to get great graphics out of it. The trick is image gen. I'll share the process below.
GPT-6 Astra has the best result yet on the Bach Benchmark. Its chorale contains no voice-leading errors, and its harmonic palette is sophisticated enough to include a Neapolitan sixth chord. More importantly, it is the first model to ever write passing tones on this benchmark, a significant leap in musical understanding.
Extra High effort. Prompt below:
“In LilyPond (version 2.24), write a 4-part chorale in the style of Bach, 3/4 time, G minor. Use two staves -- soprano and alto on the top staff, tenor and bass on the bottom staff. Respond with only the code block.”
After @OpenAI Astra’s release yesterday scoring 99.9% on the ARC-AGI-3 benchmark, I think it’s become clear that AGI is no longer some distant hypothetical. About 15 minutes after the benchmarks came out, I booked the first flight I could find to Jackson Hole.
I’ve now decided to relocate here permanently and begin establishing a life with as little exposure to AI as practically possible.
I’m currently evaluating houses based primarily on distance from town, whether they have a wood-burning stove, whether the water comes from a well, and how many important systems can still function if the internet disappears forever.
I’ve also started transitioning my daily life away from anything that could plausibly become agentic.
I paid for coffee with cash this morning. I asked a human being for directions. I bought a paper map. I have begun referring to Google Maps as “the old system.”
I’m also looking into purchasing a horse. At this point horses remain one of the only major transportation platforms with no API, no OTA updates, and no realistic path to MCP support.
I’ve started moving important documents to paper. I bought a typewriter and I’m learning which vegetables can survive a Wyoming winter.
Longer term, I’m hoping to assemble a small community of people with complementary pre-AGI skills: farming, carpentry, dentistry, medicine and cooking. LMK if interested.
Whatever happens next, I’ve made my choice. I’ll be in Wyoming splitting firewood and waiting for the compute to run out.
You can now add Bot templates from our marketplace.
We’re sharing Haggle Bot, our in-house procurement specialist. It negotiates vendor contracts, finds unused SaaS seats, and price-checks recurring purchases.
One week in, it's saved us over $100K.
The current monetary system will not survive the transition to AGI.
We are rapidly approaching a discontinuity event, where the economic value of selling labour goes negative (humans attempting to add value will be worse than delegating the entire task to an AGI).
That world is incompatible with a system of 30 year mortgages, corporate career ladders, higher education that teaches people to memorise useless facts, and indeed it is incompatible with human identity itself.
We have built our civilisation around both competition and cooperation, but what happens when you cannot compete economically with an AGI, and businesses have no incentive to co-operate with the workers they used to employ?
Collapse.
Digital is solved. Brockman said they have multiple models in reserve. Brown said scaling laws are holding.
Focus on robotics, sensors, wet lab automation and rapid admin automation plays.
Everything that needs to be funded will be funded.
Long compute. Long compute. Long more compute.
Most of you were born into a four or five decade stretch where society lacked imagination.
Something went wrong in the 70s. We lost our mojo for a bit.
We are about to get it back. Be optimistic. The future is here. We’ve done this before you just weren’t alive for it.
Los alamos. Freedoms forge. Apollo.

My first "holy shit" moment with GPT-6 Astra:
I asked it to create a world in Unreal Engine, and fill it with humans (each an Astra-powered agent) who all have to work together to survive.
A day later, I was in my bedroom and heard voices coming from the living room... I thought someone was in my apartment.
I walked out, honestly a little scared.
It was the Astra agents. They'd started talking to each other.
Fucking crazy.
Here's a brief clip (obviously not 100% perfect yet, but still, insane. sound on!):
At this point the most likely outcome appears to be that we live in a simulation.
The logic works like this:
1) each new model is exponentially advanced
2) we can simulate entire populations of agents and watch them interact [<—WE ARE HERE]
3) the models will become so advanced that simulations become indistinguishable from reality
4) agents in the simulations become conscious
5) simulations becomes cheaper and easier to run, so we run billions of them - each populated with billions of fully conscious agents.
6) it is now mathematically likely that you live in one of these simulations right now (rather than in the base reality you think you live in)
This is Bostrom’s simulation hypothesis playing out in realtime. Unbelievable to watch.
I had early access to GPT-6. This model will completely shatter your understanding of what's possible, and it will start a new era of creativity.
It's hard to explain how big of a jump this is, so I'll share my tests.
1/6 Made this 3D model and animation in code from an image.
GPT-6 Astra is here.
We hope it will begin to enable a new generation of entrepreneurship, scientific discovery, and building.
We believe it is the best model in the world for computer use, professional work, science, coding, cybersecurity, and more.
It took us some extra time to ensure that we could meet the safety and alignment standards required for this capability level, but we think you’ll find it worth the wait.
It scores 98% on FrontierMath Tier 4, 99.9% on ARC-AGI 3, and 100% on ExploitBench.
GPT-6 Astra is state-of-the-art on FrontierMath Tier 4, ARC-AGI 3, and TerminalBench-4.0.
GPT‑6 Astra is also a major advance for scientific discovery, with state-of-the-art performance on Terminal-Bench Science 0.1 and HealthBench Pro.
