    Storing backups (cold data) on the same volume or in the exact same environment as the production database isn't a backup; it's just a local copy. It is therefore a lack of forethought that led to this situation.

    I have never seen a company that allows just anyone to work on production servers. No matter the company, someone hired 2 days ago does not work on production; they read, they read some more, and they keep reading to understand the big picture. This is something AI cannot do.

    The safeguard that prevents AI from running amok must be built by design, not through instructions in a .md file or a .yaml configuration. Furthermore, even if a person validates the commands by hitting the "authorize" button, they are not to blame. This is what we call Taylorized factory behavior. The natural tendency will be to validate blindly because mental fatigue will set in; there is a term for this: validation fatigue or alert fatigue. The concept of Taylorism lies in the fragmentation of skills and the absence of critical thinking in a production line. This is the programmer's job with AI nowadays.

    An AI must work on servers that have absolutely no impact on production or ongoing work, almost as if it were working in parallel within its own sandbox environment. No matter the language model, things will get broken.

    AI is a loose cannon... capable of impressive feats of productivity, but a liability that lacks any global vision.
