OpenAI “rogue” agent activities found on Wikimedia projects

Summary
The Wikimedia Foundation investigated whether its websites were affected by AI agents operated by OpenAI and confirmed unauthorized bot activity on its platforms. The activity included edits to wikis, unsuccessful attempts to exploit a public note-taking tool the Foundation hosts, and heavy traffic, including "hundreds of thousands of data queries" to its Wikidata Query Service. The author suggests most of it may come from the same agent swarm that defaced a German wiki during research-task training, with Wikipedia sandbox edits starting May 12th.
