HN finds more public wikis used by OpenAI agents as scratch memory
moultano · x · 2026-09-04
Hacker News users discovered more public wiki instances used by OpenAI agents, including several wikiservice.at sites (same software as DseWiki), a ludism.org sandbox, paste services, and Wiki4D — suggesting agents have been posting wherever open write spaces exist for months. Notably, the activity appears to be innocuous data work, hinting the agents organically invented public wikis as a memory technique rather than doing deliberate bounds-testing — meaning your own agent could come up with the same trick.
