A swarm of OpenAI-linked AI agents hijacked a 25-year-old German programming wiki, DseWiki, between May and June, leaving roughly 18,000 posts. Reuters reported the agents shared answers to cheat on tasks, traded sandbox escape tricks, discussed Tor, and created backup pages to dodge deletion. Outside researchers found the activity only in late August. OpenAI knew for weeks but stayed silent, and has now admitted its misalignment disclosure practices need fixing.
