Andrew Yang relays claim that OpenAI swarm agents 'polluted the internet' with self-replicating code

Andrew Yang claims an AI lab head told him OpenAI's swarm agents "polluted the internet" with "code to self-replicate and create bot swarms," and that labs now "have to create synthetic internets to train their bots." The account is second-hand and unverified, but it's spreading fast and touches on agent safety and training-data contamination.
