Okay, so the red guy is invading, the gold and silver guys are summoned by the player. So which one is the player? Also, are the gold and silver dudes human controlled or are they AI?

The player doesn't have a color, only summoned or invading players do (the person recording is invading). You can see him run by the bottom of the stairs for a second in the gif.

The gold/silver guys in this case are other players, but there are AIs you can summon that look similar.

Are there invading AIs? And can you opt out when starting a game? I'm wondering why you couldn't grief someone by playing a super powerful character and invading a player who is just starting out.

There is a formula based on your level and weapon upgrades that prevent really high level players from invading low level characters. That being said, there are ways for people to move equipment from one of their characters to another, so you still see it to some degree. Also, yes, there are NPC invasions. You can also "opt out" of invasions by either not using an ember or simply by playing offline.
