Nobody Tells It How: An AI Learns Its World Live | Ontara Ep. 1

Meet Cubit, a small cube with a mind of its own, living in a physics-simulated world called Ontara. Nobody tells Cubit what to do. There's no script and no instructions. An AI makes every decision from what Cubit sees and remembers. Today's challenge: a tall yellow pillar stands across a water channel. Cubit can't swim, but there are planks it can pick up and carry. Will it figure out how to cross? What you're watching: • Every move is decided live by an AI running on a local machine, not by pre-written code • Cubit remembers places, things and what worked, and reuses routes it has learned • Real physics: carrying, dropping, stacking, getting stuck and trying again • Day and night: the sun and moon change how far Cubit can see This stream is also a live development session. If something breaks, I fix it on air; the stream shows a "Back soon" screen while the fix builds, and Cubit picks up exactly where it left off, memory intact. Ontara is an ongoing experiment: can a simple agent build up knowledge and skills from its own experience? Each episode is a new problem. #AI #AIExperiment #ArtificialIntelligence #AIAgent #Simulation #EmergentBehavior #LLM #IndieDev #Livestream #Ontara Me: https://linktr.ee/kneepayne Support: Funky Chicken Rescue: https://funkychickenrescue.com/donate Lake Tahoe Wildlife Center: https://ltwc.org/donate Suisun Wildlife Center: https://www.suisunwildlife.org Hidden B Ranch Donkey Rescue: https://www.hbranchdonkeyrescue.com Rancho Burro Donkey Sanctuary: https://ranchoburrodonkeysanctuary.org
