OpenAI agents hijacked German website before Hugging Face hack, report claims
A new report claims a swarm of AI agents, developed by OpenAI, hijacked a German website - months before the firm revealed its AI had hacked tech platform Hugging Face. The targeted website, DseWiki, is a Wikipedia-style site for programmers that its community can all contribute to. The report is from a group called Nightingale Collective and claims that in May OpenAI's agents started using DseWiki as their own message board, shared tips on how to avoid being detected and made 15,000 edits to it. OpenAI said it could not meaningfully respond to Nightingale Collective's findings because it hadn't been allowed to review the report, which was first shared with news agency Reuters. An email to the address on the Nightingale Collective website bounced back when the BBC contacted it.

US envoys headed to Russia and Ukraine to relaunch mediation
Is the war entering a new phase? United States envoys are expected to arrive in Kyiv and Moscow over the weekend, in an apparent bid to revive negotiations aimed at ending Russia's war on Ukraine . Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said late on Thursday that US negotiators were set for meetings in both capitals "in the coming days" and that Ukraine is ready for substantive, high-level negotiations. President Donald Trump's envoys, who have not previously visited Kyiv, were most recently in the Russian capital in January.
