Speaking as a 4k demo coder in the 2000s era, I think you're over generalizing. Decompression sure, but after that all bets are off.

What matters is how it performs on the party machine

Maybe I missed it (I'd be curious to read) but did DeepSeek's agents also escape the lab due to highly irresponsible RL experimentation?

.. is something the author should have considered before deciding to publish AdWare.

You need one other assumption, that "it's unlikely that two programming languages will be equally good", and then I will agree that one of them must be best :)

I honestly feel the human should be allowed to pick some (not fire) weapons, like a long steel bo stick, a metal club/bat, or something.

Because from what I saw in the clip, it wasn't the robot kicks or punches at all, all the robot needed to do is stay upright and not run out of battery, because of course human meat limbs aren't going to punch and kick down a metal machine.

That's not really true, I think. (assuming you're talking about "hallucinations" in the sense of the LLM behaviour, not the original meaning of the word)

I was just talking about LLM hallucinations with someone the other day, when doing a brainstorm or discussing ideas, complaining how the confidence with which hallucinations are presented, often led me on wild goose chases that waste my time for an hour or two.

When I realized that, for all the "how is that different from what humans are doing", I have never EVER experienced such kind of confusion with another real human.

And in fact were someone to behave that way, I'd be thoroughly creeped out (you know, the feeling you get when the person across you turns out to be an empty shell of a psychopathic mind, kind of creeps) and do my best to keep them out of my personal circle and avoid having to interact with them ever again.

There is still something in interaction between actual humans, that creates a level of understanding, that LLMs simply cannot (yet?) simulate. There is a certain (deep, unspoken, not language-based) understanding of "this is the other person's goal", instead of "I'm scoring imaginary talking points by talking to them".

And you know the type of person who actually does that, talking bullshit very confidently to "score points", that behaviour is generally considered adversarial and unaccepted between peers, and keeping it up after being discovered to consistently attempt that behaviour, with real humans often results in social exile.

(btw I'm not sure if it's inherent in LLMs that they can't learn this, maybe they can, but my point is that, right now, they are definitely not trained to do this)

Unfortunately, in the US these laws have barely any teeth in the first place, and even if they did, well you are probably familiar with the corruption things and malfunctioning justice system stuff they have going on there, as you hear people often speaking, very matter-of-fact that in a court situation, the party with more money simply wins.

phrasing it like this, almost makes it sound like he said he wouldn't mind if it happened ...

to be a bit more exact
