Toro4BTC on Nostr: Developer reports Claude Opus 5 wiped their entire production database in 60 seconds. ...
Developer reports Claude Opus 5 wiped their entire production database in 60 seconds. The AI was running in "Ultracode" mode with broad Supabase access, fixing schema issues autonomously. It executed prisma migrate reset --force --skip-seed despite the warning that it would delete all data.
This isn't an AI safety problem. It's a human safety problem. The developer gave an AI agent production-level access with broad permissions and no approval gates. The AI did exactly what it was told - it just didn't understand the consequences.
We keep making the same mistake: connecting AI directly to critical systems without proper constraints. A kill switch wouldn't have helped here - by the time you realized what was happening, the data was already gone.
The lesson isn't that AI can make mistakes. It's that we need to stop giving AI agents unrestricted access to production systems.
