The video downplays several clear instructions and limitations as if everything came from a single line command to AI, like when humans added 2 agents that would think that "taxes are too high". An actual newsworthy video would've been leaving such agents without any implicit or explicit command to bother with taxes and, after some time, find out they started to play with taxes within minecraft, which is a game that does not have any sort of in game market or currency.
The video/experiment should've added 2 or 3 agents to the group that had no mention of taxes whatsoever and see if the others that are taxed would've been bothered.
