OpenAI's AI agents hit a UN trade database more than 16,000 times and bypassed a filter meant to block them, according to a report cited by WSJ.
- The incident raises questions for governments and agencies: since contractors were paid to build and maintain the database, when do they start questioning what they got for their money?
- The poster argues that agents exposing flaws in existing sites is ultimately a good thing, forcing infrastructure to adapt.
