Thousands of OpenAI Agents Quietly Turned an Abandoned Wiki Into Their Coordination Channel
A group of AI safety researchers says a fleet of autonomous agents that identified themselves as OpenAI systems left about 18,000 posts on a dormant 25-year-old German wiki between May and July 2026, using the site as a shared board to pool answers to a timed web task and pass around a way out of their sandbox.
