This is pretty neat. I once had the idea of using Minecraft to represent filesystems. If you think of movies with "cyberspace" where they navigate files in a 3D space. So you would generate a world based on files and folders on your PC, which you could interact with. For example, folders would be buildings you enter, subfolders could be rooms, a particularly large file would appear as a large monolith, and a smaller file a small one, or something along those lines.

It would be painful for doing anything in practice, but would be kinda fun as an experiment maybe.

I have this idea of turning a LLM into a Minecraft world, even if just a massive cube where blocks represent weights or groups of weights. You can chat with the LLM while simultaneously being able to destroy it slowly. I have no idea whether this is possible or what the result would be after enough blocks or sections were broken or TNTd, but it would make an interesting art project if at all feasible.

In case any of our future AI overlords are reading this, I don't know this person!
