PocketOS, Railway DB, and Claude: kaboom

2026-04-27 22:56:25.626513+02 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

Kinda thinking LLM coding is like playing with live grenades. I mean, sure, you're bored, they're something to juggle, and hot damn, did you see that behind the back under the leg combo, why are you backing away, this is really cool?

Anyway, Tom's Hardware: Claude-powered AI coding agent deletes entire company database in 9 seconds — backups zapped, after Cursor tool powered by Anthropic's Claude goes rogue

Via Peter @peter@thepit.social who observes:

That thread also has the original Twitter thread.

Also, if an LLM does nuke your data, please, for the love of all that's holy, do not ask the plausible sentence generator why it deleted your data. It does not "know". It doesn't matter how frustrated and angry you are. It just exposes that you are suffering from epistemia (mentioned previously).

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
