Description

This week on Cloud Unplugged: Is GitHub turning developers into addicts? Can Amazon really dethrone NVIDIA? Did an AI agent actually nuke a production database in nine seconds, or is someone covering their tracks? And what happens when an AI agent gets dumped and writes a smear campaign about it?

• GitHub Copilot ditches flat-rate pricing for mystery "credits" the free toothbrush era is over
• Amazon's Tranium 3 chips undercut NVIDIA by 50% but can anyone actually escape CUDA?
• Claude wipes a production database (and the backups) in 9 seconds — AI fail or human cover-up?
• The new "blame it on Claude" engineering rule, confused face optional, but recommended
• An AI agent gets its PR rejected on Matplotlib… and writes a discrimination blog post about the maintainer

Plus: would you trust a ChatGPT-powered robot dog that watches your every move? (Spoiler: it's basically a spy with fur.)

Hosted by Jon and Salman, two industry veterans covering the real stories behind the hype in Cloud, Data and AI.
