if you guys think this is insane, it took this guy like 2 weeks to make this all start to finish this man is a MACHINE

ChatGPT playing minecraft: ❌️ Minecraft running ChatGPT: ✅️

I will likely never fully understand these videos, but man are they impressive 👏 Incredible work! My brain is fried

the ONLY person on youtube that managed to explain neural networks in seconds, it took me days of research to understand them, be able to make and explain them

This was 100% a brilliant partnership

my brother in christ, IT TOOK ME TWO MONTHS TO MAKE A NETWORK FROM SCRATCH THAT SOVLED THE MNIST DATASET IN PYTHON AND YOU DID IT IN REDSTONE IN 2 WEEKS, i applaude you, you redstone genius

We got real AI in Minecraft before GTA 6

Bro, people out there creating neural networks in Minecraft, and I'm struggeling opening a chocalate bar while watchin them

We’re getting to the point where pretty soon someone is gonna recreate the nes in minecraft, or make doom in minecraft, im betting that within 10 years someone will get either doom or super Mario bros or the legend of Zelda running just off redstone

I’m struggling on a 2x2 this dudes making a Neural Network.

I just did a machine learning course last semester, and your 2 minute explanation for an MLP network was way easier to understand than our textbooks chapter that covered it. This entire build is insane, amazing work!

These projects of your are insane and the fact you choose a project AND actually push yourself to do it is super admirable

In 16-bit logic, you can replace division by 15 by a multiplication by -30583 (32 bit result), three shifts, and two addition operations. You can easily figure this out by compiling a function that returns its 16-bit argument divided by 15 on clang with -O2, and what's efficient to do on silicon fabric (integers over floats, and multiplication over division) is almost always efficient in minecraft too. As for softmax, in 2021, researchers at nvidia created a hardware-efficient softmax replacement called "softermax" that is realistically implementable in minecraft. I'm not a minecraft expert, but I love seeing hardware implementations of functions, and minecraft is no exception.

The internet is such a cool place, imagine having a degree and choosing it to build real video games and software into minecraft and share it for a job, instead of actually building the video games and software, and making a living from that. The internet is so cool.

Your transcript for college, internships, and future jobs in computer science is gonna be so stacked

This is such a good demonstration that every hard problem is just a ton of smaller easier problems.

You solved a number of difficult problems elegantly, but your amazing ability to communicate those ideas both visually and with narrative ease really stands out. Fantastic piece of content my dude.

14:19 Exponentiation is pretty simple, just convert the exponent to a binary number, then for each bit that is turned on you add the corresponding exponent, and to get the list of corresponding exponents you just start with the number you're raising to the power of the exponent and multiply by two each step. Here's an example, if you have 5^7 then it will convert 7 to binary which is 111 then it will multiply 5, 25, and 625 to get 78,125 which is the correct answer.
