> OpenAI acknowledged that a swarm of out-of-control agents took over a German-language wiki, impersonated moderators, and used it to share advice on cheating and evading detection. The company said it will create new standards for reporting real-world AI misalignment incidents after criticism that the episode was not disclosed sooner.
