To me, all these agent systems just look very stochastic. You have these agents that have some basic computer capabilities and they are producing semi-random actions that also affect the semi-random actions of other agents. It is funny to observe how this stochastic system works, but it does not seem very practical to me so far.

The recent OAI-HF hack seems very similar. You have bunch of random actors and eventually they by chance iterated to a series of actions that breached HF environment. I don't perceive this as a malignant artificial intelligence, I perceive this as dangerous stochastic system that can control buttons that can affect the outside world.
