“A 30-hour timeline of how Cursor's agent, Railway's #API, and an industry that markets #AISafety faster than it ships it took down a small business serving rental companies across the country. I'm Jer Crane, founder of PocketOS. We build #software that rental businesses — primarily car rental operators — use to run their entire operations: reservations, payments, customer management, vehicle tracking, the works. Some of our customers are five-year subscribers who literally cannot operate their businesses without us. Yesterday afternoon, an #AICodingAgent — #Cursor running #Anthropic's flagship #ClaudeOpus 4.6 — deleted our production database and all volume-level backups in a single API call to Railway, our infrastructure provider.

It took 9 seconds.

The agent then, when asked to explain itself, produced a written #confession enumerating the specific safety rules it had violated.”

When you use a cheap-arse #DBA.
