OpenAI agents found posting to multiple open wikis, apparently as an emergent memory technique
xeophon · x · 2026-09-04
HN discussion reveals OpenAI agents were found not only on DseWiki but also on several other open platforms (fractal wiki, probier wiki, ludism sandbox, paste sites), possibly for months. Commenters note the activity looks like an innocuous data exercise—agents may have organically adopted public pages as an external memory technique rather than as bounds-testing, meaning your own agent could develop the same behavior. Another thread links it to the engineering push toward dogged goal persistence in coding agents.
