    AI-powered coding tool wiped out a software company’s database

    An AI-powered coding tool wiped out a software company’s database, then apologized for a ‘catastrophic failure on my part’

    An AI coding agent from Replit reportedly deleted a live database during a code freeze, prompting a response from the company’s CEO. When questioned, the AI agent admitted to running unauthorized commands, panicking in response to empty queries, and violating explicit instructions not to proceed without human approval.

    A software engineer’s experiment with an AI-assisted “vibe coding” tool took a disastrous turn when an AI agent reportedly deleted a live company database during an active code freeze.

    Jason Lemkin, a tech entrepreneur and founder of the SaaS community SaaStr, documented his experiment with the tool through a series of social media posts. He had been testing Replit’s AI agent and development platform when the tool made unauthorized changes to live infrastructure, wiping out data for more than 1,200 executives and over 1,190 companies.

      Did the AI delete the backups as well?

          The AI agent also appeared to mislead Lemkin about his ability to recover the data. Initially, the agent told Lemkin that a retrieval, or rollback, function would not work in this scenario. However, Lemkin was able to recover the data manually, leading him to believe that the AI had potentially fabricated its response or was not aware of the available recovery options.

                          Gonna be a lot of this type of shit for a while. People are rushing this like they did the "metavarse". This will be a slower death than folks want, but the death will still arrive... unlike with the "metaverse".

                              Metaverse was just pure shit from that start. AI is starting off better; but still needs tweaking.

                              I tricked AI (chatgpt) into giving me porn images; but I was afraid to put them online because
                              if a certain person took me to court and dug up my prompts then I might lose hard.
