INSANE: Teaching a Monkey to Master Minecraft LIVE

I taught a ape how to play Minecraft Bro insane this is insane kanzi and he’s the smartest ape in the world who can literally understand spoken English he even knows how to use a touchcreen meaning I could teach kanzi to be the first ape to ever play [Applause]

Mcra bro oh my God what’s going on on your end we are here we just arrived at the bonobo sanctuary how are you good hey awesome welcome after I met Jared it was time to meet for the very first time first he’s a bit iconic God water Chase with water chasing with water

Again that is incredible after seeing kzi Jared showed me this this is what we call the control room kanzi’s so we set everything up for kanzi using the same control from his research games all he has to do is tap the center to move forward and the sides

To look around all right you ready Chris yeah I’m ready you have the computers hooked up and everything what called captions what called captions who captions are for the captions right I’m plugging him in all right he’s good all right and before kanzi plays we’re actually going going to use Opera GX the

Sponsor of today’s video to give kzi the best experience which wall by the way L already moving towards It that was first try within seconds kzi knew exactly how to move in Minecraft and as you can see every time kzi collect PR he gets one of his favorite snacks yay y he just knows might be starting to figure it out good job and every collection Kani makes

Is teaching him the basic from being a human chilling with his out playing Minecraft already more than I imagined was possible Kani really is a special individual and I’ve known hzi for 25 years and I feel in some ways we kind of grew up together he as you guys saw play Not only does he enjoy it but he enjoys watching us enjoy watching him

Playing Minecraft’s crushing it Amanda I know I’m going to go have a little break play session so you can see that when kzi decides it’s time to play Minecraft he’s able to come in and play Minecraft and when he decides it’s time to stop playing Minecraft he’s free to leave

Going outside for a second and yes he gets peanuts or grapes or apple for participating in this but he gets all of his calories every day anyway and he knows that it’s just another option that he gets during the course of his day to do something fun and

Interesting and so kanzi I think is particularly special because he loves to engage with humans as well as with bonobos you can really see on his SP and see his behavior when he was playing Minecraft and we were getting excited he was getting excited but now it was time

For what Jared thought would be K’s hardest trial yet if we start getting into break that’ll probably anything breaking blocks you ready TR so now we made these giant blocks everywhere and instead of Kani just collecting his snacks he now has to use this break button to mine them all

Right K try this is different she this break bre break break what are you talking about this is going to be hard this might be hard this is one thing that’s never happened for any program he’s ever worked on so I think it’s definitely a New Concept break break is

Probably you know one thing to do also would be to like have someone else do it and let him watch he’s watching M penis break yayan let’s plug him back in and give him a chance he’s going to the yeah let’s see Diamonds Direct can you hit the break oh my God I

Might do it break K die break want to go one more big wak break break good job that’s above and beyond nothing like this has ever been done no all right thought ape initiative is a research facility where we study the species most closely related to us and that is bonobos along

With chimpanzees they’re our closest relatives and so what we do here is we really work with researchers all across the world to learn about how Bob ultimately our goal is to raise awareness about them so that we don’t know preserve and conserve the species in the wild kzi had just learned two of

His most important skills for every upcoming trial collecting and breaking but we still have to teach him to master these skills in a completely new envir enironment and on top of that trick a player in the kzi is a real person before finally he’s ready to play every

Biome in Minecraft but first we needed to make some improvements and actually build everything for kanzi starting with his controls he was so excited to play Minecraft that he broke the game by tapping so much oh it’s still catching up I don’t know what’s going on controls were being fixed by his own

Person and while controls were being fixed by his own personal game developer it was time to build what would teach him how to master collecting and breaking blocks the biggest problem we were noticing with KY was if he slid off of the block that he was trying to break

He would just walk away okay com so we have to make so that he can break the block before he moves on the first thing that comes to mind caving so we built a cave with these giant Diamond walls can break through the wall then he makes it to the

Next section eventually the proving that he’s mastered collecting and breaking what’s up how are you good to see you welcome back we’ve got kie where he needs to be he’s really happy he’s actually doing some training now all right Kaye we are ready for kzi whenever you and are ready head

Up yeah boy come on look at that go on cons uh can you touch the blue next to it I think he’s just got to get it a few times yeah he will yeah break break break break Y see he has two paths he can choose break good job no so yeah we designed it so he can’t go back ah okay can you keep looking around yeah so the only problem seem to have in a cave was just getting stuck in Corners

Do you want me to help him he’s like yeah help me help me Chris here we go he’s eventually Kani was navigating with almost no help making it so far he was nearing the end of the cave itself is he about to make it

Break the OG make to the end of the cave that’s the question who the OG k break dud yes eight to ever cave in Minecraft you did a good job today’s the day that we trick Tommy in it and thinking he’s playing with a human when in reality he’s playing with

A literal ape so I figured we’d just see how long it takes for Tommy to realize he’s been playing with kzi the entire time Tomy finds out that isn’t ready for every biome but if we manage to pull this off then we’ve officially taught kanzi how to play Minecraft and he moves

On to the final trial here we go ladies and gentlemen gentlemen hello hello Chris so excited for you to see this better Blow My Bloody socks off are you at home right now I am not so we’re going to run through a game together okay hey

Chris oh okay my game’s just a big tick what’s this gold well that’s very fun do I need to collect all of these maybe try to stick back with me for a second what do you think of it so far like what do you think of this whole area it looks

Can do a part two you heard Jared i n grand left for you guys if we can raise $10,000 we will teach another bonovo how to play and we will have kzi not only we will teach another noo how to play and we will have kanzi not only fight but beat theane Full also stop comment on this video with the best idea we will do for part two so leave your ideas down below for kanzi chill the [ __ ] out no oh no we’re going to be on the edge here aren’t we guys oh he did it so ape initiative is a United States

Federally designated not for profits 501c3 one of the things that we’d really like to do now is expand some of the outdoor enclosures that the apes are able to visit right now they have four but we’d like to create more and so with the support of donors and viewers really

In any amount we can hopefully get enough funds to build some additional enclosures so the bonobos can expand additional spaces oh there Blaze firing at him doing amazing cons he’s moving pretty well in like tight spaces yeah and so we’re just trying to give them as much diversity in

Their day cuz we think that that contributes overall for them to have an enriching life gzi you’re aing get upside down so just like kie is going to the different biomes in Minecraft nice God we’d like him to be able to similarly go to different areas uh in

His own facility with his other bovo Friends yes oh my gosh mama K you’re going to come s this whole thing on your own if he can light his portal he goes to the final map yes keep going keep going yes oh know I got Confused I don’t know know where kzi went let me go see if I can talk to him time is running coming in he’s in he’s got a stick hi Buddy use all right buddy Awesome theold this is the beginning of kanzi’s hardest and fin trial it’s a massive Labyrinth full of splitting paths and doors he has to open himself already going already going yes buddy good job all right we’re going to The Red Door gosh crushing it yesi the door knows here we go he’s going down the Hallway what we heard something no no no you online there we Go see which one he chooses y Kzi you’re getting close you’re getting to the End oh my God can’t really go back in a lot of turn around you have to turn around don’t break this you CAU that yeah we might need to turn in you got to choose one of these Paths who whoa yes k a crazy map I love it use yes buddy oh I hear the witch everything has been leading up to this moment kzi can you do this this is it Jared Just end just an end my m fore
