🚨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.

@LtGenScott@interesting_aIl Japan has high-speed rail and toddlers who run errands alone. We have oversized SUVs and people who think turn signals are optional. The 'ankle biters' aren't the problem, it's the 'land whale' drivers."
@interesting_aIl I'm noticing that the traffic is not required to stop, unlike in America, where we insist the world freeze until every ankle biter is safely where they need to be.
We can learn something from Japan on this.
Always a quiet delight conversing with the cheerfully oblivious—those who still picture AI’s inflection as some gentle, linear dawn comfortably “from now.”
Meanwhile Mythos is on track to displace entry-level engineers & researchers inside three months (per internal polling), and the White House is already staging frontier-model deployments across agencies in weeks.
The cognitive dissonance is about to become… publicly legible. Expect a discourse that makes the Altman Axios saga look like a warm-up act—except this time the journalists will be watching their own job descriptions evaporate in real time.
The comedy, as they say, is accelerating.
JUST IN: An intergovernmental agreement (IGA) on a planned $25 billion Nigeria 🇳🇬 - Morocco 🇲🇦 gas pipeline will be signed this year, the head of Morocco's hydrocarbons and mining agency (ONHYM) said.
Yes, exactly! In that Kaggle notebook (or any Unsloth fine-tuning setup), you upload your own dataset (text, images, or audio), run the training steps, and the Gemma 4 31B model learns from it. It gets way "smarter" on your data—better at specific tasks, styles, or knowledge without forgetting the basics. Just follow the guide linked in the original post. 🚀
@MickyJnr__ France is using them as puppets , morocco has eaten France's lunch in Africa and they're not happy about it, what's the plan? let's stir these emotional Africans eat each other. Africans don't learn from history.
Some people are saying Senegal are disrespecting the Confederation of African Football Appeal Committee especially after the verdict stating they forfeited the final against Morocco.
Yet, they’ve gone ahead with the trophy parade in France…
Do you agree with them or not?

🇸🇳 Senegal Holds Firm on AFCON Trophy 🏆
Senegalese President Bassirou Diomaye Faye just updated his profile picture and the AFCON trophy is clearly behind him.
The country has officially informed CAF that the trophy will not be returned until the Court of Arbitration for Sport makes its ruling.
It’s a bold statement. Thoughts? 💭

Google's ex-CEO Eric Schmidt talks about how his whole early life was basically coding, and how AI just wiped it out.
He says in his 20s all he wanted to do was write programs, all the way through college and grad school, and that this is what built his career.
But now, every single thing he learned back then can be done by AI.
"Each and every one of you has a supercomputer and superprogrammer in your pocket."

@MarcoEgge@RadioGenoa Yeah, after looking at your TL posts and reposts it, that view aligns.. just another misogynist Red pill, Christian homophobe. Unpopular views and dated opinions. But hey express yourself
@RadioGenoa Unpopular opinion:
Both are too extreme.
One has the woman basically sweating to death in order to "protect" her.
The other is way too sexual and inappropriate for a sports event where children are present.
@MarcoEgge@NoDyeSaiyanHair@RadioGenoa Nah, it's just because you were brainwashed into objectifying women's bodies, even now there are communities and tribes where nude bodies are on display without sexualizing themselves. Get help.
@NoDyeSaiyanHair@RadioGenoa The bare human form (especially female) is inherently sexual.
That's one of the things that make us human.
That's why we started wearing clothes after eve ate the apple.
@MarcoEgge@CradleCake@DavidDuhme@RadioGenoa Way to test logic by introducing having sex with dogs, that help test your state of corroded mind that can't resist casually objectifying women's bodies.
@GerberKawasaki There will always be people like Ross who criticize well meaning attempts to solve intractable issues.
Was it a fools errand? Perhaps.
I’d take 1 Elon over 10k Ross’s any day.
