An investigator of the German Wikipedia swarm-crawler incident says he has spent days poring over the site's publicly logged visitor records and is confident that "easily a double digit number" of OpenAI employees had visited the site by June 26 — evidence that OpenAI internally knew about the dispute early. The logs are fully public, so anyone can verify his analysis. AI safety researcher Nathan Calvin amplified the finding.
