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.

I’ll never happen to me. I ain’t stupid enough to use this shit. I’m not stupid enough to make myself unneeded. But damn, a lot of fucking programmers who I’m sure make 100k+ a year, are stupid fucks working to put themselves on the street by using this shit.

LLMs can’t ’go rogue’, as that would require innate coherence and intent.

They’re explosively imprecise, statistically luke-warm grey goo extrusion sphincters of historical sewage.

Anyone who deploys one without supervision deserves everything it excretes, and anyone impressed by it enough that it resembles intelligence is betraying their limited natural capacity.
