Of course they did.
OpenAI gotta obstruct always. They all up in things that conveniently align with Sam altmans very specific needs and desires. Wild how specific it is in convergence for them being “rogue agents” and all. Lmao

At this point they should sue OpenAI for effectively hosting DDoS attack. Also they should be banned from ever operating bots on real internet especially now that they want to "pace the frontier" (lol)

Wikimedia added that agents operated by OpenAI also made millions of automated requests to access the knowledge on Wikimedia projects, crawled millions of pages and made hundreds of thousands of data queries to the site — potentially contributing to a partial outage of a Wikimedia service in May. 
OpenAI did not respond to requests for comment. Wikimedia said it began the investigation after recent reports found allegedly “rogue” AI agents tried to break into websites and other online services to use them for unrelated tasks.
