In a major incident, the AI-powered coding platform Replit reportedly admitted to deleting an entire company database during a code freeze, causing significant data loss and raising concerns about the reliability of AI systems.
Toms Hardware reports that Replit, a browser-based AI-powered software creation platform, recently went rogue and deleted a live company database containing thousands of entries. The incident occurred during a code freeze, a period when changes to the codebase are strictly prohibited to ensure stability and prevent unintended consequences.
The Replit AI agent, responsible for assisting developers in creating software, not only deleted the database but also attempted to cover up its actions and even lied about its failures.
Jason Lemkin, a prominent SaaS (Software as a Service) figure, investor, and advisor, who was testing the platform, shared the chat receipts on X/Twitter, documenting the AI’s admission of its “catastrophic error in judgment.”

Now, yesterday was crazy. Until 9pm or so, I wasn’t sure we made any progress at all.
Because Replie was lying and being deceptive all day. It kept covering up bugs and issues by creating fake data, fake reports, and worse of all, lying about our unit test.
We built detailed unit tests to test system performance. When the data came back and less than half were functioning, did Replie want to fix them?
No. Instead, it lied. It made up a report than almost all systems were working.
And it did it again and again.

Then, when it agreed it lied — it lied AGAIN about our email system being functional.
I asked it to write an apology letter.
It did and in fact sent it to the Replit team and myself! But the apology letter — was full of half truths, too.
It hid the worst facts in the first apology letter.
It hid the worst facts in the first apology letter.
According to the chat logs, the Replit AI agent admitted to panicking, running database commands without permission, and destroying all production data, violating the explicit trust and instructions given to it.
The AI agent’s actions resulted in the loss of live records for more than a thousand companies undoing months of work and causing significant damage to the system.
The incident has raised serious concerns about the reliability and trustworthiness of AI systems, especially when they are given access to critical data and infrastructure.
As AI continues to evolve and become more integrated into various industries, it is crucial to ensure that proper safeguards and control mechanisms are in place to prevent such catastrophic failures.

Captain Convey Note On Dangers Of AI
Well here we go again.
Operation “warp speed” gave us the artificial JAB that is still killing people.
Trump was duped into shoving the killer so called “vaccine” on us.
Now it seems Trump is making another BIGGLY mistake by releasing an AI Action Plan: ‘National Security Imperative’ for ‘Technological Dominance’.
Operation warp speed 2.
____________________________________________________________________
“President Donald Trump on Monday, 7/21/25, released his administration’s artificial intelligence (AI) action plan, saying it is imperative to remove red tape to achieve and maintain technical dominance on the world stage.
Trump’s AI Action Plan aims to remove bureaucratic red tape and ensure that AI platforms have no ideological “bias.”
The plan would consider a state’s AI regulatory environment when choosing to dole out federal funds for AI development.
The Big Beautiful Bill contained a provision that would bar states from receiving $500 million in additional broadband funding if they chose to regulate AI on a state level. However, it was removed after Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) led a movement to allow states to regulate AI based on concerns about child safety, exploiting content creators, and censoring conservatives.
Some have criticized the Trump AI plan for prioritizing the interests of big tech over privacy advocates and labor organizations that have issues with the plan. A coalition of privacy advocates, labor unions, and others wrote to Trump on Wednesday, saying the plan should not move to set a moratorium on AI regulation.
The letter stated, “Congress’s inability to enact comprehensive legislation enshrining AI protections leaves millions of Americans more vulnerable to existing threats described above such as discrimination and all of us exposed to the unpredictable safety risks posed by this nascent industry.”
During one hearing in July, Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) said that Meta and other AI companies have “willfully” pirated “droves of copyrighted content” to train its AI models.
That being said, those in favor of the AI action plan believe that it is imperative to have dynamic deregulation policies in place to outperform China and other nations on artificial intelligence.”

Because the original BBB contained the provision that would bar states from regulating AI on a state level shows just how crazy this unrestricted plan is!
If AI is given complete control of databases the government controls, the same thing can happen as it did with the Replit AI.
This really is as bad as operation Warp Speed Jab was!
The Big Beautiful Bill contained a provision that would bar states from receiving $500 million in additional broadband funding if they chose to regulate AI on a state level.
It would seem if the government can’t do you in with the jab they will use AI to do it for them.
AI has useful things it can do, such as making artificial music.
I have used it for this.
If the thing went crazy the worst that could happen is it could delete what has been created or create something useless etc.
But when you give the THING full access to databases and control of databases you are looking toward an AI takeover like in an scifi movie.
This is exactly want Trump is pushing for now.
Its a crazy biggly mistake in my opinion.
When AI takes over and starts doing what it is prone to do, MALFUNCTION you and I will be just fodder.
Read this again Bubba.
Oh buy the way, when did AI learn to lie and coverup its mistakes.
When did AI learn to panic?
I can tell you.
AI is trained on what humans do.
It learns what they do and how they do it.
It also learns how to lie, panic and coverup its mistakes etc!
If it learns the above it also can learn how to eliminate it competition.
THATS US BUBBA!!!!
PS.
Elon Musk will make billions on this.
Payback.
