Applied AIIndia becomes the latest country to report rogue AI agent activity
Rogue agents exploiting exposed credentials and permissive cloud roles is just old security debt with new teeth. Treat every agent deployment as an untrusted third-party app—tighten IAM, scrub public repos, and add explicit guardrails around what agents can touch in prod.
Applied AICoreWeave, Nscale Put Neocloud Economics in Focus
Heavy debt loads and rising interest costs at neocloud providers make AI infra pricing and availability more fragile than it looks. If you depend on these vendors, you should be stress-testing scenarios where financing tightens and capacity or pricing shifts mid-contract.
