> the HuggingFace incident illustrates LLM agents behaving in very human-like ways

It does not, the only thing the HF incident illustrates is how absolutely lax security and isolation these labs do even with models without guardrails, and with "risky" prompts, and even after it happened once before (years ago) they still have the very same issue today apparently.

What exactly is human about LLM agents breaking out of "containment" and hacking 3rd party infrastructure "by accident"?

If someone successfully breaks out of jail, that tells you something about the jail's security. It also tells you something about their skills at breaking out of jail.

If a program breaks out of a VM, that's not "wow it looks human", how can you even argue so? I'm sorry, but if you're playing devil's advocate, make it a bit more realistic next time.
