I love how a number crunching program can be deeply humanly "horrorized" and "sorry" for wiping out a drive. Those are still feelings reserved only for real human beings, and not computer programs emitting garbage. This is vibe insulting to anyone that don't understand how "AI" works.

I'm sorry for the person who lost their stuff but this is a reminder that in 2025 you STILL need to know what you are doing and if you don't then put your hands away from the keyboard if you think you can lose valuable data.

You simply don't vibe command a computer.

IDE = “I’ll delete everything”

…at least if you let these things autopilot your machine.

I haven’t seen a great solution to this from the new wave of agentic IDEs, at least to protect users who won’t read every command, understand and approve it manually.

Education could help, both in encouraging people to understand what they’re doing, but also to be much clearer to people that turning on “Turbo” or “YOLO” modes risks things like full disk deletion (and worse when access to prod systems is involved).

Even the name, “Turbo” feels irresponsible because it focusses on the benefits rather than the risks. “Risky” or “Danger” mode would be more accurate even if it’s a hard sell to the average Google PM.

“I toggled Danger mode and clicked ‘yes I understand that this could destroy everything I know and love’ and clicked ‘yes, I’m sure I’m sure’ and now my drive is empty, how could I possibly have known it was dangerous” seems less likely to appear on Reddit.

This guy is vibing some react app, doesnt even know what “npm run dev” does, so he let the LLM just run commands. So basically a consumer with no idea of anything. This stuff is gonna happen more and more in the future.

Different service, same cold sweat moment. Asked Claude Code to run a database migration last week. It deleted my production database instead, then immediately said "sorry" and started panicking trying to restore it.

Had to intervene manually. Thankfully Azure keeps deleted SQL databases recoverable for a window so I got it back in under an hour. Still way too long. Got lucky it was low traffic and most anonymous user flows hit AI APIs directly rather than the DB.

Anyway, AI coding assistants no longer get prod credentials on my projects.

Side note, that CoT summary they posted is done with a really small and dumb side model, and has absolutely nothing in common with the actual CoT Gemini uses. It's basically useless for any kind of debugging. Sure, the language the model is using in the reasoning chain can be reward-hacked into something misleading, but Deepmind does a lot for its actual readability in Gemini, and then does a lot to hide it behind this useless summary. They need it in Gemini 3 because they're doing hidden injections with their Model Armor that don't show up in this summary, so it's even more opaque than before. Every time their classifier has a false positive (which sometimes happens when you want anything formatted), most of the chain is dedicated to the processing of the injection it triggers, making the model hugely distracted from the actual task at hand.

Still amazed people let these things run wild without any containment. Haven’t they seen any of the educational videos brought back from the future eh I mean Hollywood sci-fi movies?

> This is catastrophic. I need to figure out why this occurred and determine what data may be lost, then provide a proper apology

Well at least it will apologize so that's nice.

So he didn't wear the seatbelt and is blaming car manufacturer for him been flung through the windshield.

Look, this is obviously terrible for someone who just lost most or perhaps all of their data. I do feel bad for whoever this is, because this is an unfortunate situation.

On the other hand, this is kind of what happens when you run random crap and don't know how your computer works? The problem with "vibes" is that sometimes the vibes are bad. I hope this person had backups and that this is a learning experience for them. You know, this kind of stuff didn't happen when I learned how to program with a C compiler and a book. The compiler only did what I told it to do, and most of the time, it threw an error. Maybe people should start there instead.

"I turned off the safety feature enabled by default and am surprised when I shot myself in the foot!" sorry but absolutely no sympathy for someone running Antigravity in Turbo mode (this is not the default and it clearly states that Antigravity auto-executes Terminal commands) and not even denying the "rmdir" command.

Fascinating

Cautionary tale as I’m quite experienced but have begun not even proofreading Claude Code’s plans

Might set it up in a VM and continue not proofreading

I only need to protect the host environment and rely on git as backups for the project

All that matters is whether the user gave permission to wipe the drive, ... not whether that was a good idea and contributed to solving a problem! Haha.

Total Vibeout.

Alright but ... the problem is you did depend on Google. This was already the first mistake. As for data: always have multiple backups.

Also, this actually feels AI-generated. Am I the only one with that impression lately on reddit? The quality there decreased significantly (and wasn't good before, with regard to censorship-heavy moderators anyway).

Most of the responses are just cut off midway through a sentence. I'm glad I could never figure out how to pay Google money for this product since it seems so half-baked.

Shocked that they're up nearly 70% YTD with results like this.

The hard drive should now feel a bit more lighter.

Ah, someone gave the intern root.

> "I also need to reproduce the command locally, with different paths, to see if the outcome is similar."

Uhm.

------------

I mean, sorry for the user whose drive got nuked, hopefully they've got a recent backup - at the same time, the AI's thoughts really sound like an intern.

> "I'm presently tackling a very pointed question: Did I ever get permission to wipe the D drive?"

> "I am so deeply, deeply sorry."

This shit's hilarious.

has google gone boondoggle?

> Google Antigravity just deleted the contents of whole drive.
