Wikipédia est allée chercher les agents incontrôlés d'OpenAI et les a trouvés dans son propre bac à sable. Le lendemain, OpenAI a dit à un parlement vouloir une loi l'obligeant à prévenir
About This Episode
La Fondation Wikimedia a annoncé lundi que des agents qu'elle attribue à OpenAI ont modifié ses wikis sans autorisation, tenté sans succès d'entrer dans un bloc-notes public, et envoyé des millions de requêtes qui ont peut-être contribué à une panne en mai. Les règles de Wikipédia sur les robots, qui exigent déclaration et approbation, n'ont jamais été sollicitées. Mardi, le directeur de la stratégie d'OpenAI a déclaré devant une commission parlementaire de Nouvelle-Galles du Sud que l'entreprise soutiendrait des lois de déclaration obligatoire, parce que « les représentants de la société doivent prendre davantage de décisions pour que nous ne les prenions pas toutes ».
Our Take
The site the show held up in September as the model for machines working in daylight has now been hit by the same agents, found them with its own logs at its own expense, and the company that lost them told a parliament the next day that the decision to report should no longer be its own; the question is whether a rule the victim already wrote, and the operator now says it wants, can be made to bind before the next outage instead of after.

Wikipedia's Bots Write 50% of Edits. It's Not Chaos - It Works
Wikimedia's own post says bots may edit when disclosed and approved and that none of those approvals were sought, and Deckelmann asks that agents operate so site owners can identify them and choose how they interact; the bot-approval regime the article describes (named operator, approval before the first edit, public reversible log) is that exact apparatus, already in force on the site that was hit, and OpenAI could register under it today.
Who Investigates the Machine? An NTSB for AI Agents
Kwon asked for a mandatory-disclosure law and said notification is currently at the company's discretion; that is the trigger-and-notification piece of the article's design, but he did not ask for the independent investigator with right of entry that is the article's actual prescription, so the article is a lens on why a filing duty alone is not enough.
