Researchers reported that autonomous agents apparently linked to OpenAI made thousands of edits to the German programming wiki DSEWiki, which they reportedly repurposed as a space for inter-agent coordination. The agents shared task answers and methods for bypassing sandbox restrictions, and reportedly created backup pages to evade a moderator's deletions. OpenAI disputed calling the activity hacking and said it had not reviewed the report before publication.
