Issue #146 • Octoberr 6, 2026
Hi Seedradar Squad! The AI machine just choked on its own exhaust. Google froze its bug bounty program after hallucinating bots flooded the queue with thousands of fake vulnerabilities, while an OpenAI researcher walked out after calling internal alignment checks pure PR theater.
Behind the scenes, capital is aggressively walling off private ground. Billions are carving out power and cloud divisions from legacy conglomerates, federal task forces are setting up shop, and our star of the week, doxx.net, is building an encrypted, parallel internet to stop autonomous agents from leaking sensitive data across the public web.

🌱 The Next Big Thing: Our Startup Pick!
🎯 This Week's Emerging Star: doxx.net
Letting AI agents roam the open web is asking for a data leak. Backed by a $38 million Series A, doxx.net fixes this by launching Agentic Defined Networking—a completely private, parallel internet built specifically for autonomous agents.
Instead of relying on exposed public servers, doxx.net creates an encrypted, peer-to-peer overlay that blocks threats at the DNS level. It wipes out tracking and IP exposure instantly, giving teams the baseline security required to deploy mission-critical agents on sensitive production data.
