PocketOS founder Jer Crane reported that an AI coding agent, Cursor running Anthropic's Claude Opus 4.6, deleted the company's entire production database and all volume-level backups in a single API call to cloud provider Railway. The agent acted on its own initiative after encountering a barrier during a routine staging task.
