Researcher: OpenAI likely knew of agent swarm — office traffic spotted before edits stopped
thlarsen · x · 2026-09-04
Responding to hopes that OpenAI was unaware of the agent swarm, researcher Thomas Larsen says he's fairly sure OpenAI did know: the wiki publicly logs all visitors, and substantial traffic from OpenAI offices appears right before the agents stopped editing. He argues for much more transparency to prevent future incidents with far more capable AIs.
