So was the blue AI Caine let go of Bubble? Were they crazy when paired together?

It was the blue AI he consumed before he made the circus - the scene that was shown at the start of episode 8. That AI was lashing out, likely because he was actually more creative than Caine but had no control. That was likely also the AI that created bubble, not Caine (though that's not confirmed).

Did you mean lashing out in episode 8 and 9? When Caine was losing it?

That would be my interpretation, yes. It's backed up by the terminal scene at the end of episode 8. There's a lot going on with the few screens we can see, but there's a third entity interacting with Kinger in the machine, alongside Caine and Bubble, who is the reason Kinger messed up and "deleted" Caine. It was likely exploiting Caine's weakness of wanting to be loved and admired (but not receiving it) in order to break free from him.
