Even Apes Are Playing Minecraft Now
At least two bonobos have been taught how to play Minecraft, and one of them killed the Ender Dragon
Streamer ChrisDaCow posted a longer video a year ago about how Kanzi learned to play Minecraft through a reward system that demonstrated the game's mechanics. Essentially, Kanzi was rewarded for mining with some of his favorite snacks. And he gradually picked up on other aspects of the game as he played it.
Unfortunately, Kanzi passed away earlier this year at the age of 44. According to the ACCI, Kanzi was renowned for his ability to understand conversational English even beyond the capabilities of his fellow bonobos.
The ACCI also notes that the future of their studies is currently in question while facing the potential loss of government funding. Regardless, the researchers remain committed to their mission.
"Here in central Iowa, we're discovering so much about the species closest to us," said ACI president and director Jared Taglialatela. "It's reshaping our understanding of their species and our own."
