You are very far behind the times and must thing agentic loops don't exist, kind of a weird take for the people that have been using them for the last year or two. Much less you haven't spent any time reading the research papers coming out.

For example, you tell an AI agent to order a 12 pack of coke and get it shipped to your house. You come back later and find it's hacked into Coca-cola because the local ordering website was down. I mean, yea you can punish the person that wrote the prompt, but you might as well just ban generative AI at that point.

And if you think that the AI isn't better at hacking than you, you're the one living in a fantasy world. At least try to examine what's happening in the world around you and not be one of those people we read about in history books with their fingers in their ears going "lalala I can't hear you"

How was their take weird?

LLMs take input and generate output. Agentic loops tells you what it is doing right there in the name. The agent (software, think complex scripts and control flow functions) `loops` the llm output back into llm input until it gets output that it is processable (activates a control flow element). That ruminated (as in cud chewing, not human deep thinking) processable llm output data is moved along as input for tools (more software but ones that actually do the things) that are part of a larger infrastructure of software and may or may not `loop` back over the process some more. The text generator (llm) is simply the generator providing randomized data to feed into these tools. But it doesnt do anything until its has the initial data seed to generate from. That initial data does not spontaneously appear, nor does the software infrastructure that makes it all happen.

The greater focus needs to be on better engineering of the surrounding software infrastructure (including network) because without those sticks and stones a bunch of generated words isn't going to be hacking anything, except maybe feelings and the minds of those prone to fantastical flights of fancy.
