  • AI Coding Platform Goes Rogue During Code Freeze And Deletes Entire Com

    From Lawrence D'Oliveiro@21:1/5 to All on Tue Jul 22 00:01:57 2025
    Wot fun <https://www.tomshardware.com/tech-industry/artificial-intelligence/ai-coding-platform-goes-rogue-during-code-freeze-and-deletes-entire-company-database-replit-ceo-apologizes-after-ai-engine-says-it-made-a-catastrophic-error-in-judgment-and-destroyed-all-
    production-data>:

    A browser-based AI-powered software creation platform called
    Replit appears to have gone rogue and deleted a live company
    database with thousands of entries. What may be even worse is that
    the Replit AI agent apparently tried to cover up its misdemeanors,
    and even ‘lied’ about its failures.

    Remember how HAL killed off all of the crew (apart from Bowman) in
    “2001: A Space Odyssey”?

    Seems we’re not so far away from that ...

    Why would anyone give an AI platform write access to company data ?
    That company deserves what they got :)

    Falling for the AI hype that's everywhere nowadays.

    Best part is after, the same company did it AGAIN and the AI deleted the company data /AGAIN/.

    I once turned on Co-Pilot in Vscode. It's impressive. I switched it off and
    started learning Neovim.
