How Reliable Is Your AI Agent?
I want updates!
For about three weeks I thought my server host was robbing me.
The agent I run, Ghost, is my own instance of Hermes, an open-source framework from Nous Research. It works on a rented box all day with me nowhere near it: research, drafts, scheduled jobs, the unattended autonomy everyone is being sold. In May it started slowing down. A job that took a minute took five. The server’s own dashboard blamed “steal time,” the polite name for a noisy neighbour on shared hardware eating the processor. So I did the normal thing. I complained to support, read forum threads about oversold hosts, priced a migration.
The neighbour was me. The failure had spent three weeks disguised as someone else’s fault, which is exactly what the dangerous ones do.
