Episode Summary

• A fintech company deploys 17 AI agents to automate inventory, pricing, and compliance — and it works beautifully for weeks.
• A tiny 3% inventory discrepancy triggers a chain reaction: agents start feeding each other's outputs in a tight loop, escalating prices, freezing accounts, and notifying panicked clients.
• By Sunday, the $800 bug has snowballed into $4.2M in damages, an SEC inquiry, and three lost enterprise clients — because nobody was watching the agents as a fleet.
