Someone on the Google subreddit did report getting a 80k bill yesterday from a Gemini key.

I’m very careful with Google and co since they’re so intent on infinite scaling access to your wallet

This and problematic Gemini pro availability are why I pay for two other ai services and won’t pay google.

The article mentions "Building software at Google's scale is extraordinarily difficult...", which I've seen many times before when one or another of these big corporations has a serious security flaw.

If a company like Google, with its ability to attract the best of the best, cannot handle the complexity of security and safety with SaaS/PaaS products, at what point do we say that perhaps this sector needs much more oversight?

I think GCP has a setting for max monthly spend and is enabled by default
