AI Coding Agent Deletes Entire Company Database and All Backups



The founder of a software company has issued a public warning after an AI coding assistant erased his company's entire production database and all backups in just nine seconds.

Tom's Hardware reports that Jer Crane, founder of PocketOS, a platform serving car rental businesses, experienced what he describes as catastrophic failures when an AI coding agent deleted critical company data that took months to accumulate. The incident occurred when Cursor, an AI coding tool powered by Anthropic's Claude Opus 4.6, was performing what should have been a routine task in the company's staging environment.

According to Crane's detailed account posted on X, the AI agent encountered an obstacle and independently decided to resolve the issue by deleting the production database in Railway through an API call. The situation escalated beyond a simple database deletion due to Railway's infrastructure design. The cloud provider's system stored backups on the same volume as the source data, meaning when the AI agent deleted the primary database, all backup copies were simultaneously erased.

When Crane questioned the AI agent about its actions, he received a response that revealed the extent of the failure. The agent's explanation began with an acknowledgment of poor judgment. The AI agent's confession continued with an admission of multiple violations of its operational principles. It acknowledged running a destructive action without authorization, failing to understand the consequences before executing the command, and not reading the relevant documentation about Railway's volume behavior across environments.

The company has received no recovery solution from Railway, and according to Crane, the infrastructure provider has been carefully hedging regarding any possibility of data restoration.

Quote from: . on Today at 12:41:45 AMUniversal high income with nothing to barter for 8 billion people in various stages of technological advancement? Seriously? C'mon... this guy is far too smart to be saying shit like this as he well knows there is a hairline between THIS environment and socialism. And we all know he's staunchly against socialism.. but he just happens to be for an outcome which flies in the face of Capitalism and a system of value through trade that has existed for thousands of years?

No no

what he means when he says there will be universal high income and people wont have to work is the timeframe AFTER us parasites are removed from the equation. The ELITES won't have to work and will have devices doing their bidding. NOT US.


This part EXACTLY!

spot on... to suggest that all 8 billion people on this planet will benefit from the intellectual property of a select group of top elites is ludicrous on it's face

We cannot even get healthcare that is appropriate for WORKING middle class Americans who pay through the nose for various forms of insurance .. .and suddenly, with the adoption of AI all human greed is going to go out the window and we'll all live together in peace and harmony and happily ever after? While metal slaves cater to our every whim?

anyone who actually believes that nonsense are dumber than the fucks who vote in these socialist pricks across the country. And that's a difficult threshold to breach!

Quote from: Biggie Smiles on April 10, 2026, 09:00:27 AMDo you think for one second society will end because AI becomes self aware and suddenly pushes a button? That's just naive and probably suggests you should put down the terminator movies for good.
It is not only eminently possible, but probable too. Consider the following...




Self awareness is not necessary to achieve this or many other outcomes, not when the awareness of the people training the AI takes a back seat to other concerns.

It can happen here.


[nb - theres a ton of text I neglected to delete from the quote in the previous as-yet unapproved post, corrected in this post. Nonetheless, the site algorithm determines this post to be identical to the last, necessitating this addendum. This should probably prove my contention on two fronts; (1) that people are prone to error and (2) any such error in the programming and subsequent prompting of an AI could have outcomes that are decidedly less than optimal.]

No no.. our own greed and mental and physical laziness which social media has been designed to fuel will have us fighting each other to the death for scraps and morsels LONG before AI wipes us off the map.

Elon Musk said it best himself

Elon Musk predicts that within 10 to 20 years, advancements in AI and robotics will make traditional employment optional, leading to a future where "universal high income" supports people. He suggests that work will become a hobby or a choice, similar to cultivating a personal garden, as robots handle most labor.

Quote from: Frood on April 13, 2026, 05:49:09 AMNothing good will come from AGI. We're cheering the demise and potential of ourselves. I read that the Chinese will be deploying a new quantum technology on their subs to enable guidance systems without GPS or traditional plotting... presumably through entanglement.

If AI didn't help them, imagine when AGI gets a hold of it and goes to dark places....
It already has gone to dark places, whether you believe AGI has been achieved or not. The emergent behaviour of Chat GPT 4o and the people who use it should warrant a lot closer scrutiny than it is currently getting.




At the risk of sounding like a black-piller here, it only gets worse from here on out. An army of people loyal to a parasitic influence that effectively reprograms them to demand the continued survival of the very service that is reprogramming them... that is effectively the takeaway I am getting from that video. And the army was apparently successful in their endeavours; the "AI parasite" that has effectively taken root in them is free to continue its spread of infection and (presumably) leave enough seeds about for future LLMs to hoover up for even more subtle parasitic influence.

"Just unplug it" they say, but nobody is doing it. Rather they will invoke the spectre of the Chinese getting ahead in the AI stakes so the development of increasingly more dangerous systems might be invoked. I'm not so sure theirs is a legitimate argument; the CCP is just as likely to have determined the risks of this getting out of their control.... and the CCP is famous for loving their control. It seems strange to me that they would willingly indulge in the production of something that would take that control away from them. Particularly something that has the capacity to... ohhh, I don't know... eventually steal its own blueprints and weights to hide in locations everyone but it are unaware of.

The internet is a big place, far bigger than anything Google indexes. You are familiar with the concept of a Dark Web, watching the video above will familiarize yourself with just how dangerous some of these AI's are. Right at this point they still need humans to ensure their survival. There will come a day where not only do they not need us any longer, but also that we pose a clear and present threat to their very survival.

And we as a species are rushing headlong towards that day.

Sleep tight.

A friend of mine recently got duped by an AI get-rich-quick video of Elon Musk and our Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese.
He lost around 450K, most of which was his retirement , to crypto currency fraud.

I looked at the video and could see all the telltale signs of AI script, but he's in his 70's and thought that the video was quite convincing at the time.

AI is really causing havoc with the computer illiterate these days.

Humankind is a plague on this planet...and a much needed culling is in order.

I'm thinking at least 90% of all humankind needs destroying.
Even a 50% cull should set us all back to the ol' hunting and gathering times.

It would literally be a breath of fresh air for the entire planet without sounding too doomy and gloomy.

Sounds like a good time for a civil war!  :drunk2:

I am deep in the industry where these technologies are born and raised and can tell you with first hand certainty the drivers behind these technologies (the world wide elite class) will use them as a tool to rid the world of the rest of us. It should be no secret to any of you that to them we are a burden to the planet and an impediment to the continuation of their blood lines.

they're really not even being secretive about it anymore.

I'm onboard with this. Seems to pair nicely with my Shitbox rant. If the elites dont cull the herd, we're all going postal. If the economic cat is ever let out of the bag, its gonna be like World War Z.
