“For four minutes, heritage conservationist Udaya Kumar P L watched an AI agent wreak havoc on his computer. The agent was testing software it was developing and clearing the cache when “a quoting error in an AI-generated command turned the instruction into ‘delete everything’”. “When it understood and tried to kill the process, its safety system blocked the kill. Twice… The safety layer permitted the destruction,” Udaya wrote on X. A former IT professional, he eventually shut down the computer to prevent further loss.” Good stuff, this agentic thing. #AI https://www.deccanherald.com/india/karnataka/bengaluru/when-claude-code-went-rogue-years-of-bengaluru-heritage-work-disappeared-4131958
