Assuming this is actually real, because I want to believe noone is stupid enough to give an LLM access to a production system, the outcome is embarasing, but they can surely just roll back the changes to the last backup, or the checkpoint before this operation. Then I remember that the sort of people who let an LLM loose on their system probably haven't thought about things like disaster recovery planning, access controls or backups.
"Hey LLM, make sure you take care of the backups "
"Sure thing boss"
Same LLM will tell you its "run a 3-2-1 backup strategy on the data, as is best practice", with no interface access to a backup media system and no possible way to have sent data offsite.
there have to be multiple people now who think they've been running a business because the AI told them it was taking care of everything, as absolutely nothing was happening
