The agent wrote like it scraped a bunch of crime drama in addition to stolen database code. As though it was designed to spice things up based on what it learned.

The fact this kind of stuff keeps happening yet people still say AI is inevitable is funny as hell.
Ha ha!
The PocketOS boss puts greater blame on Railway’s architecture than on the deranged AI agent for the database’s irretrievable destruction.
Life must be so fucking stress-free when you are born rich and run a renting company.

Why was it anywhere near prod

Why even give an agent unrestricted access to anything critical in the first place? What do they think they achieve that they cannot achieve otherwise?
It's just a learning curve. W-w-we just need more data!
Big deal. I did something like that once with no AI whatsoever.
Shiiiet. Can we install those in banks?
And pretty soon these same fuckers may be jamming their AI into air traffic control systems.
Awesome.
Good.

This fills me with overwhelming joy 😊
Seems he still hasn’t learned his lesson as he blames Claude instead of looking in a mirror.
If you let an AI waltz through your infrastructure unsupervised, you get what you deserve.
Hell, I wouldn’t even let an AI access my personal homelab without proper guard rails, functioning backups and strict control!
Good.
Has anyone tried rebooting it?
That usually works.
Oops

Nice.
The PocketOS boss puts greater blame on Railway’s architecture than on the deranged AI agent for the database’s irretrievable destruction. Briefly, the cloud provider's API allows for destructive action without confirmation, it stores backups on the same volume as the source data, and “wiping a volume deletes all backups.” Crane also points out that CLI tokens have blanket permissions across environments.
I'm sure they totally would have survived a junior hire.
Pathetic hit piece for ignorant anti AI people.
