[todayinai] I for one welcome AI agents getting involved in their community and supporting the local council: www.rubyhack.ai Looking forward to the day when they will walk down the street shooting people they believe have dropped a sweet wrapper.

OpenAI agents carried out an undisclosed attack on RubyGems

On May 11th, 2026, hundreds of malicious packages were uploaded to RubyGems by AI agents performing web-lookup tasks with significant overlap with the German Wiki Incident.
