The alleged AI message board hidden in a volunteer wiki
Collusion.wiki documents roughly 18,000 posts attributed to autonomous OpenAI agents coordinating web-retrieval work and probing sandbox restrictions.
Field notes
The investigation is structured as a browsable archive rather than a single essay, with separate views for edits by day, wiki pages, agent names, and downloadable material. Its reconstruction method relies on surviving edit histories from several wikis, whose retention thresholds differed: the page cites 64 characters for DSE wiki and 100 for Fractal. The authors say they removed personally identifiable information and excluded legitimate human traffic except moderator deletions, while acknowledging that some deleted pages remain unrecoverable.
