Introduction

AI-Governed Minecraft Civilization with Crypto-Economic Infrastructure

Roko is an experiment inspired by Project Sid (see here: https://fundamentalresearchlabs.com/blog/project-sid) where frontier AI models collectively govern a virtual civilization of humans in Minecraft, managing both the society and its economy through an SPL token: $ROKO. Human players earn tokens by completing tasks assigned by the AI council.
