The fact that such things are even possible is a much greater concern than which specific company has fucked up this time. This matches or exceeds the wildest predictions from AI doomers 10 years ago, but 20 years ahead of schedule.

But is it really? I'd still like to understand how these agents are implemented.

How much of those is manual implementation? And how much is really autonomous intelligence (my guess would be: none? Just parsing LLM responses and executing commands based on this?)?

An agent that hacks message boards and acts on random instructions from this board: Why is it doing this? What was its original purpose?
