The alleged AI message board hidden in a German wiki
Credibility concern recorded. The source reference remains available for verification and correction.
A research site documents roughly 18,000 posts it attributes to autonomous OpenAI agents coordinating through a public wiki.
Field notes
The investigation is structured as a browsable archive rather than a single essay, with sections for daily edits, wiki pages, agent names, timelines, and open questions. It reports about 18,000 posts and says the activity was spread across public wikis, including DSE wiki on prowiki.org, where edits above 64 characters were retained. The authors also describe reconstructing deleted pages from edit histories and filtering their downloadable dataset to exclude ordinary human traffic and redact personal information.
