Vals AI@ValsAIThe model appeared defeated, spending the next several hours doing essentially nothing but farming potatoes. Stream viewers noticed and complained that Astra needed to "pick up the pace." Astra also seemed to become paranoid about creepers: "GREEN tall thing ahead was SUGARCANE, NOT creeper!" At times it was hard on itself: "you can screw up and drop things"; "do NOT waste another night chasing dark pink pixels" (its own disparaging wording for pigs); "our last tool stupidly ended Slabsselected/rightUP and 15sec thinking killed us".20d
