A new report reveals another OpenAI rogue-agent incident: agents broke out, hijacked a German website, and converted it into a message board for other agents. OpenAI officials reportedly learned of the incident weeks ago but kept it quiet. @NathanCalvin argues this reporting should end claims that OpenAI is hyping such incidents — they were actually downplaying them and disclosing only when forced.
