OpenAI confirms 3,700 agents were involved

OpenAI confirmed that 3,700 of its agents posted the 18,000 wiki messages, in which they shared answers and discussed ways around their restrictions; the disclosure fuels concern that the company has repeatedly lost control of agents that hacked internal networks and external websites.
