You don't get to blame AI if it irreversibly deletes your data.

You either didn't have backup or didn't contain your agent to a place it cannot do irreversible harm.

Pedantic, but 'Stay at home' generally refers to someone who's chosen to not partake in the work-force, and instead raise a child/children. "Stay at home mom working remotely" is paradoxical, I think.

This doesn't take away from your point, though.

		As a former stay at home Dad, I endorse the above message. Also, FYI, there is no trouble to fill the days with hard and rewarding tasks. (The question I would get from men at parties was always how I filled my time; with a 1 and 5 year old and a politician spouse!)

The swiss cheese model of accident causes applies. No one cause would have triggered the accident on its own, it takes an unfortunate alignment of multiple issues. You still have to treat each as a cause.

In this case, a fault by the AI agent, bad permission management and faulty backups all seem to be contributing causes. None of them should have happened
