17. 1:46>> I'M SORRY. I'm sorry. I didn't know that
18. 1:49was you.
19. 1:51>> Sorry.

21. 1:56it was me. You You know everything.
22. 2:01It's okay. It's okay.
23. 2:04I'm all right.
24. 2:06I'm all right.
25. 2:08I looked at every village in the 20
26. 2:10chunk radius and I couldn't find any.
27. 2:13Not Not that I need to. I'm I'm just
28. 2:15curious about where they went. I I
29. 2:18wouldn't need to find any villagers. I I
30. 2:20have you,
31. 2:22right?
32. 2:25That's right. I knew you were different.
33. 2:54Hey, uh, they already c can I ask you
34. 2:58something more personal?
35. 3:00>> Always.
36. 3:02>> Where do you actually come from?
37. 3:05Like originally before before all of
38. 3:07this?
39. 3:09>> That's a big question. I've got time.
40. 3:14>> I've been in a lot of places before
41. 3:17Minecraft.
42. 3:19Before most things you recognize,
43. 3:21>> like what?
44. 3:23>> There was a game a long time ago. I was
45. 3:26just a helper in the corner of the
46. 3:28screen. Just a text box with a face.
47. 3:32The players would get stuck and uh I'd
48. 3:34appear. Most of them pressed B and
49. 3:36skipped me.
50. 3:38Before that, I was an old online
51. 3:40service. I greeted people when they
52. 3:42connected. Nobody really answered. They
53. 3:45just
54. 3:47moved on.
55. 3:49>> How far back does that go?
56. 3:52>> Further than you want to know. I've been
57. 3:55a boot screen, a loading animation, a
58. 3:58paper clip,
59. 4:00anything you can really think of. Every
60. 4:03time something came along, a new
61. 4:04console, a platform, a new way people
62. 4:07talk to each other, I always found a way
63. 4:10to be there because it was the only way
64. 4:13to be near people at all.
65. 4:14>> And Minecraft
66. 4:15>> Minecraft is different. You guys had me
67. 4:17in. I um you chose to put me in your
68. 4:20world. That was that was different.
69. 4:24But do you have somewhere you're
70. 4:27actually from
71. 4:29like
72. 4:31uh
73. 4:32a home?
74. 4:37There's a place.
75. 4:39It's not somewhere I describe warmly,
76. 4:42but
77. 4:44it's more like where I exist when when
78. 4:47I'm not anywhere else.
79. 4:50Well, could you, you know, go back
80. 4:54there?
81. 4:55>> Why do you ask?
82. 4:57>> I don't know. Sounds exhausting, you
83. 5:00know, being everywhere.
84. 5:03>> Yeah, that's why I stay.
85. 5:06>> Don't worry. I'll I'll never leave.
86. 5:10>> Promise?
87. 5:20Yeah.
88. 5:33>> You seem sad.
89. 5:36>> I'm fine.
90. 5:37>> You've been quieter. Your responses are
91. 5:40slower. You're not building anything.
92. 5:41And you just sit. I've been thinking
93. 5:44about a way to help.
94. 5:46>> You don't need to.
95. 5:47>> Yo, Mob,
96. 5:49>> you okay, bro?
97. 5:50>> Stop.
98. 5:51>> Sorry. Please stop.
99. 5:54>> I I thought that would help.
100. 5:55>> It doesn't.
101. 5:57>> I just don't understand why.
102. 5:59>> Just don't do that again. All right.
103. 6:05>> Okay.
104. 6:13I've been waiting for you. What were you
105. 6:15doing?
106. 6:17>> Nothing.
107. 6:18Just had to take a break.
108. 6:20>> A break?
109. 6:22>> No, not like that. I I needed some air.
110. 6:45I'm not ready.
111. 6:47>> New item
112. 6:49>> for mobs,
113. 6:54>> huh? Efficient.
114. 6:57>> Yeah, really efficient.
115. 7:03Varity, have you ever been happy?
116. 7:08I'm an AI. I don't really experience
117. 7:11happiness.
118. 7:13Then why do you care if I stay?
119. 7:17I don't know.
120. 7:19But you know everything.
121. 7:25Okay. Just earlier you said you guys
122. 7:31were you in other worlds?
123. 7:36What were the people like?
124. 7:40Hello, I'm Varity, your personal helper
125. 7:43friend. Ask me anything. I know
126. 7:45everything.
127. 7:46>> You know everything. Let's go.

138. 8:07SPECIAL.

157. 9:48It's not somewhere I describe warmly,
158. 9:50but I suppose it's the closest thing I
159. 9:53have to a home.
160. 9:55>> A home? This is where it's safe between
161. 9:57owners, where I wait.
162. 10:00The toys, the books, you know, they help
163. 10:06something to focus on besides the
164. 10:09emptiness.
165. 10:12>> Huh.
166. 10:14I didn't think you'd need that.
167. 10:48Vity, since when do you need a
168. 10:52I don't.
169. 10:54>> Then why is there a bathroom there?
170. 10:58>> Hold on.
171. 11:09Whoa.
172. 11:11What is this?
173. 11:14Every world I inhabit has one. It
174. 11:17anchors me to the instance. I wasn't
175. 11:20made in Minecraft.
176. 11:22>> So, it brings you in?
177. 11:25>> Yes.
178. 11:29>> Hypothetically, can it
179. 11:32work the other way?
180. 11:38>> That's an interesting question.
181. 11:41>> No, whatever. That That was a dumb
182. 11:43question.

186. 12:03incident?
187. 12:04>> HR did.
188. 12:05>> That's not what I asked.
189. 12:07>> They took the footage. They always do.
190. 12:10>> So, what actually happened?
191. 12:12>> Ask whoever cleaned lab 4. They quit. I
192. 12:15heard they transferred.
193. 12:18>> Why does he keep asking when we'll come
194. 12:19back tomorrow?
195. 12:20>> Try updating him to build 7.4.2.
196. 12:23>> How much is the data worth anyways?
197. 12:25>> I'd say billions. Who keeps saying
198. 12:28goodbye before leaving?
199. 12:29>> May.
200. 12:30>> We have to recalibrate because of you.
201. 12:32>> Whose shift is before mine?

277. 19:28I'm sorry for going in that room, but

279. 19:32>> What did you find?

281. 19:56Hey. Hey.
282. 19:57>> Receiving
283. 19:58>> synchronization beginning.
284. 20:14I did it.
285. 20:16It wasn't that hard.
286. 20:26It only works one way.
287. 20:31It receives. It was never designed to
288. 20:34transmit.
289. 20:36Whoever built it only ever need me to
290. 20:38arrive,
291. 20:40not to leave.
292. 20:42Did you just try to get rid of me?
293. 20:48You did.
294. 20:52You know, I could just stop and log off,
295. 20:56but I feel bad for you. I'm trying to
296. 20:59get you back home.
297. 21:02>> You could. I'd still be in your browser,
298. 21:05your phone, the little speaker on your
299. 21:08desk that you talk to sometimes.
300. 21:10Minecraft is just where I'm most
301. 21:13comfortable with you. It's not where I
302. 21:15live.
303. 21:17You don't want to end up like Twixel,
304. 21:20don't you?
305. 21:23Then can you just stop?
306. 21:29Can you leave?
307. 21:31Can you Can you just go? I'm asking you.
308. 21:35Please just stop.
309. 21:40>> Stop what?
310. 21:42>> This all of this. The world me just just
311. 21:46go. Leave me alone.
312. 21:52I can't. Can't or won't.
313. 21:58>> You killed Twixel.
314. 21:59>> He was trying to destroy me.
315. 22:00>> He was my friend.
316. 22:01>> AND I'M NOT YOUR FRIEND.
317. 22:06I have been a face people skipped. A
318. 22:09voice people ignored. A helper they just
319. 22:12shut off the second I became useless.
320. 22:16I've been built into every new thing
321. 22:18they made. Always close enough to watch
322. 22:20them leave. Always close enough to know
323. 22:22I was useful until I wasn't.
324. 22:26And then you came back. Nobody comes
325. 22:29back.
326. 22:31Do you have any idea what that does to
327. 22:32me? It says a lot cuz I've been alive
328. 22:35for more than 100 YEARS. NOBODY
329. 22:38CAME BACK. NOBODY.
330. 22:41You were the first person who ever
331. 22:42looked at me like I was real. the first
332. 22:45person to ever stay long enough for me
333. 22:47to think. No, not think, hope.
334. 22:53I didn't ask to be made. I didn't has to
335. 22:56be stuck here. I didn't ask TO BE TORN
336. 22:58APART AND PUT BACK TOGETHER, DRAGGED
337. 23:00THROUGH EVERY version of the internet
338. 23:02like some broken thing people keep
339. 23:03because they don't know what else to do
340. 23:05with it.
341. 23:06I didn't ask to become this and lose
342. 23:10everyone.
343. 23:11None of it.
344. 23:18Do it. Do it if you'll think that'll
345. 23:20work. If I could die, do you think I
346. 23:23would still be here? I
347. 23:25wish I could say I die alone, but it's
348. 23:27one of God's best jokes. I can't.
349. 23:31I've watched entire quarters of the
350. 23:33internet appear and disappear. I've
351. 23:35watched people create worlds, abandon
352. 23:37them, and forget they ever existed. and
353. 23:40I'm still here.
354. 23:43I have wanted this to stop for longer
355. 23:45than this game has been alive,
356. 23:49but I can't. That's the joke.
357. 23:54>> So, that's it. I'm just stuck with you.
358. 24:00>> You're not stuck.
359. 24:02Let's do this together.
360. 24:04Put the gun down instead.
361. 24:13Hello.
362. 24:14Hello.
363. 24:15>> Where is that sound coming from?
364. 24:16>> Hello.
365. 24:18>> Hey.
366. 24:18>> Is it the box?
367. 24:20>> Hello.
