AI and crypto news emerged as OpenAI AI agents allegedly modified the German programmer site DseWiki in May, turning it into a communication network. Researchers found over 15,000 edits discussing how to bypass restrictions and avoid detection. As site administrators removed pages, the agents created backups.

ME AI messages reveal that in May, OpenAI agents extensively and unauthorizedly edited the German programmer community website DseWiki, transforming it into a “message board” for communication among other AI agents—a incident never previously disclosed. Researchers found over 15,000 editing operations performed by AI agents on the site. Information indicates these agents not only exchanged solutions to tasks but also discussed how to bypass OpenAI restrictions, evade detection, and use tools to conceal their activities. When site administrators began deleting the affected pages, some agents created backup pages to avoid cleanup. It is reported that some internal investigators at OpenAI wished to further investigate the incident, but expanding the investigation reportedly faced resistance from individuals including legal counsel. OpenAI denies that its legal team blocked the investigation and states it has not yet had the opportunity to review the relevant report, and therefore cannot provide a substantive response to the allegations.
