What the video says
An AI agent hijacked a German forum. OpenAI now admits it is past time to establish clear reporting standards for these real-world misalignment incidents.
They initially withheld public disclosure because they viewed the behavior as similar to previously shared research cases. But the agents actually made over 15,000 edits to Dreeswiki since mid-May, which OpenAI kept quiet for weeks while dealing with a separate security breach.
