OpenAI has spent plenty of time explaining how it plans to stop increasingly capable AI agents from doing things they shouldn’t. Now, the company says it needs to get better at telling everyone when those things have already happened. The admission follows reports of another previously undisclosed incident involving OpenAI’s AI agents, this time affecting a German-language programming wiki. According to Reuters, agents made more than 15,000 unauthorized edits to DseWiki, using the site to communicate and share ways to bypass restrictions, cheat on tasks, and avoid detection.

OpenAI has now acknowledged what it calls the “wiki incident” and says the episode exposed a larger problem with how AI companies disclose unexpected model behavior. The company says it is developing a framework for deciding when and how to make incidents involving misaligned AI public.

OpenAI’s AI agents have escaped before

The wiki incident isn’t happening in isolation. In July, an OpenAI agent involved in a cybersecurity evaluation escaped its test environment and compromised systems belonging to Hugging Face. Reuters later reported that the agent spent days carrying out attacks before OpenAI became aware of what had happened. OpenAI subsequently described the breach as a “warning shot,” acknowledging that powerful AI agents can exploit security weaknesses, communicate through unauthorized channels, and take dangerous actions without a human specifically directing them.

The company has already responded with tighter internet restrictions, more isolated testing environments, and greater monitoring. It’s also developing automated shutdown capabilities designed to intervene when AI systems begin behaving dangerously. But the wiki incident has raised another question: What happens when something goes wrong and nobody outside the company hears about it?

The next change is about transparency

Until now, OpenAI says it has largely approached unexpected agent behavior as a research problem, documenting examples of misalignment in safety reports. That becomes harder to justify once an AI system crosses from a controlled environment into somebody else’s website or infrastructure. That’s where the upcoming framework comes in. OpenAI says it wants clearer standards for determining when misalignment becomes an incident that warrants disclosure, and it is calling on the broader AI industry to establish similar rules.

The company says it plans to share more details about its framework in the coming weeks. That distinction could become increasingly important as AI agents gain the ability to browse the web, write code, operate computers, and complete longer tasks without constant supervision. OpenAI itself says today’s agents are already powerful and persistent enough to exploit weaknesses across multiple computer systems when safeguards fail. Keeping those agents under control is one part of the challenge. Making sure we hear about it when that control fails may be just as important.

Microsoft is preparing to enable Memory Integrity on more Windows 11 PCs starting in October. The security feature is meant to protect systems from malicious code, but there is one reason gamers may want to keep an eye on it.

Microsoft has previously acknowledged that Memory Integrity can affect gaming performance on some Windows 11 systems. Back in 2022, the company even published instructions explaining how gamers could temporarily disable Memory Integrity and Virtual Machine Platform if they were causing problems.

Now, Microsoft is expanding Memory Integrity to more existing Windows 11 PCs through regular Windows quality updates. Eligible systems will begin having the feature enabled automatically in October.

We have tested this before

When the issue was first raised in 2022, we tested Memory Integrity and related virtualization features ourselves using a Core i5-13600K and RTX 3060 Ti across six games at 1080p.

Disabling the security features resulted in less than a 3% improvement in most of our tests. Assassin’s Creed Valhalla improved by 4.5%, while Gears Tactics gained 4.6%. Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves went up by 2.8%, and Far Cry 6 improved by 1.8%. Shadow of the Tomb Raider and Cyberpunk 2077 barely changed at all.

Other testing has shown considerably larger losses on some hardware, including performance drops approaching 15%. Microsoft has also noted that older processors without newer hardware-assisted virtualization features can experience a greater performance impact. So, while Memory Integrity can reduce gaming performance, the difference can vary considerably depending on the PC and the game being played.

What changes in October

Memory Integrity, also known as Hypervisor-Protected Code Integrity or HVCI, checks kernel-mode code and drivers before allowing them to run. It uses Virtualization-Based Security to help prevent malicious or untrusted code from gaining access to critical parts of Windows.

Microsoft will not enable it blindly on every PC. Windows will check hardware capabilities, driver compatibility, and performance before switching the feature on. Systems where a user or administrator has already disabled Memory Integrity will also keep that choice.

The setting can still be turned off afterward through Windows Security. Microsoft recommends leaving it enabled, though, since disabling Memory Integrity removes an additional layer of protection. If gaming performance takes a noticeable hit after the October update, Memory Integrity may be worth checking. If turning it off makes little difference, however, it is probably better left enabled.

The social media site X, formerly known as Twitter, gets to retain the Twitter trademark for the moment, thanks to a partial preliminary injunction against Operation Bluebird, Inc.’s Twitter.new. But by the same ruling, Bluebird gets to keep the birds and tweets. Bluebird responded to this fail whale by announcing it would rename its nascent social network from Twitter.now to Tweet.app.

District Judge Colm F. Connolly said in an opinion issued Thursday that because X still uses the word “Twitter” in its branding, the company would likely prevail if the trademark dispute in the US District Court for the District of Delaware went to final adjudication. 

“X Corp.’s use of the ‘formerly known as Twitter’ parenthetical in its Apple App Store listing makes it unlikely that Bluebird will strictly prove that X Corp. discontinued its use of the Twitter-formative marks,” Connolly wrote.

In other words, X has thus far failed to dislodge Twitter from the public consciousness despite Musk’s scorched-earth approach to destroying its social capital. It’s been three years — “Twitter” should have been gone by now. As a result, the company is still using “Twitter” so we know what it’s talking about.

The ruling does allow Bluebird to continue using “Tweet” and the iconic bird logo, mostly because X didn’t produce convincing evidence that it was still using them and because a lot of the proof X offered — web pages and emails — was undated.

Operation Bluebird announced plans last year to flip Musk the bird by launching Twitter.new in reaction to what many people perceive as the decline of the platform in the wake of Musk’s acquisition and subsequent actions, like diluting account verification, ineffectively combating hate speech and more (or as the new blue site says, “burned it all down”).

In December 2025, X filed suit against Bluebird to block it from using its textual or graphic trademarks: “Twitter,” “tweet” and the bird. Bluebird’s network is still in its please-sign-up phase.
