The most fun thing about this demo (and the demo is 100% worth trying out, you'll need to use Chrome for it) is that it shows how there's no persistent memory at all. If you get bored of the area you are in, look straight up at the sky and look down again. If you see something interesting - like a fence post - keep that in your field of vision and you should start to see more similarly interesting things.

This gesture would often work for me in lucid dreams-- look away to refresh content. And when I played video games more regularly, my dreams would take on a procedurally generated quality that always struck me as more than the typical abstract dream imagery. It was as if my mind had learned a basic game engine with mechanics, physics and various rendering techniques.
Also because of the limitations of this model to achieve something in AI Minecraft is completely different than the standard game, for example to go to the Nether is easier to find the red mushroom texture and use it to confuse the AI into thinking it's netherrack, same think for the end by using sand blocks or similar color blocks.
This also works in Safari on my iPhone.
