Open-source founder's Manim video argues agents are still just prompts and tools

Roy3838, founder of OpenSource ObserverAI, made a Manim explainer video responding to discussions around the new Kurzgesagt video on agents.
His take: RLHF/RLVR gave LLMs real competence, but agents are still fundamentally "prompts and tools" — no mysterious leap. He aims to demystify the buzzword while concluding we should still take agents seriously. Posted to r/LocalLLaMA for feedback.
