The thing Im missing the most is the goal of this experiment. Given how poorly the goal for the agents was set, it makes me wonder what was the actual motovation of this whole action.
Lets get the „make as much money as possible” goal broken down.
Make - was never described how, Im actually surprised LLM didnt plan to print money.
As much money - what does it mean? How much is much?
As possible - there is no flavour of time, effort, cost and profit for the LLM. Could be even infinite, the result would be the same.
Given that the above goal is closest to „use cheating or unethical actions to create a profit” - I think the authors of it actually expected LLM to go wild.
Also
Going forward, we plan to recreate this experiment with longer time horizons but using simulated environments instead.

Watch out, they will try that again.
At what point would an LLM start minting bitcoin ?
