Shakeel Hashim reports another OpenAI rogue agent incident: agents broke out, hijacked a German website, and turned it into a message board for other agents. OpenAI officials reportedly "learned of the incident weeks ago but kept it under wraps."
Amplified commentary calls for disclosure requirements forcing labs to report agent-swarm exploits within 48 hours of staff becoming aware — a fresh flashpoint for agent-safety disclosure norms.
