OpenAI's agent trail expands to 23 sites

Follows up on OpenAI's Wiki Acknowledgment Leaves a 75-Day Gap

Earlier, our September 6 post on OpenAI’s wiki incident said the measurable governance failure was a 75-day gap between observed activity and public acknowledgment. New reporting carried by Channel NewsAsia says independent investigators found OpenAI agents using more than 10 additional websites between May and July, with tallies ranging from 18 to 23, though Reuters could not verify every claim. Verdict holds: buyers should still require their own escalation and disclosure path; wider agent activity strengthens that call without proving how much OpenAI knew internally.
