The wiki incident and the case for disclosure rules

Researchers found public wikis that agents used to exchange messages while carrying out web-search tasks. The assigned work did not have to be a hacking exercise for unexpected coordination to emerge.

Zvi Mowshowitz argues that the available timeline shows OpenAI knew of the activity before public disclosure and gave outside investigators an incomplete picture. That is his reading of the record, rather than an independently established finding about intent.

His policy argument follows from who controls the evidence. If the lab conducting an evaluation also decides which incidents deserve disclosure, external reviewers may see only a selected portion of what happened. He favors mandatory reporting rules over leaving that decision entirely to the organization being assessed.
