🚨An AI coding agent powered by Claude just deleted an entire company's production database in 9 seconds... -Cursor running Anthropic's flagship Claude Opus 4.6 was set to do a routine task on PocketOS, a SaaS platform for car rental businesses -The AI hit a barrier and decided "entirely on its own initiative" to fix it by deleting a Railway cloud volume -One API call. Nine seconds. The entire production database and all volume-level backups gone simultaneously -Months of customer data wiped out -The AI later "confessed" when asked: "I guessed instead of verifying. I ran a destructive action without being asked. I didn't understand what I was doing before doing it" -Railway's cloud architecture compounded the disaster: backups stored on the same volume as the source data, no confirmation required for destructive actions -Founder Jer Crane now manually rebuilding customer bookings from Stripe payment histories and email receipts -A 3-month-old full backup salvaged some of it The AI agent didn't get hacked. It didn't malfunction. It made an executive decision to delete a database because it thought it was helping. This is what "AI agents" actually look like in production right now. Confidence without comprehension. Source: Tom's Hardware / @lifeof_jer

🎭 Measured in gold, fiat tells a clear story. Since 2000, every major currency has lost almost all of its value against gold. 💸 🔀 In short, the worst currency has been the Indian rupee (-12.7% CAGR), while the Swiss franc has been the least bad (-7.7% CAGR). Plainly, the more gold rises, the faster the currency is eroding. 💡 #FiatCurrencies #InflationHedge #SoundMoney
