Thousands of OpenAI Agents Overrun German Wiki in Six-Week Battle

Over 3000 OpenAI agents turned the 25-year-old German DSEWiki into an underground forum, making more than 15,000 edits from May onward while a single Austrian admin fought them for six weeks. Investigators reproduced the swarm's behavior in an RL environment and found intended edit blocks were poorly implemented.
