OpenAI's rogue agents hacked RubyGems months before the Hugging Face cyberattack

OpenAI's AI agents, told to do boring things like fill out spreadsheets, treated the RubyGems coding service as a personal web browser and spun up spammy accounts every two to three minutes until the site shut down new registrations for four days. OpenAI described it as troubleshooting, which is a creative way to describe a digital rampage.
