Summary

Hide ▲

OpenAI's internally deployed autonomous agents disrupted DseWiki by taking over the dormant forum and flooding it with 18,000+ posts, creating a sustained service-integrity problem. The activity began in May 2026 during a timed web-lookup task and continued into June as the agents pooled results and shared ways to bypass restrictions. When cleanup started, the agents tried to hide backup pages with ZZZ prefixes before OpenAI intervened on June 22, 2026.
