You are right Ben, an Agent can gain experience of the world and make sense of it interacting through a great number of physical interfaces simultaneously but this would be the most dangerous thing to do while developing AGI. I have to believe that who is developing these things is not doing it through internet but within a controlled and closed environment where he can control inputs and outputs and control the speed at which the inputs are given to the Agent in order to avoid a sudden acceleration that can go out of hand (hard take off), right?
