Doesn't anyone restrict their AIs rights? An AI should not be allowed to delete the backup. Only someone with admin rights should be able to do that. Normal users, developers and AIs of course should not have the right to touch the backup. Do these people run AI agents as root?
We just got sick of approving all those annoying prompts! /s
Managing access control is too much work. Better to just let the AI do it.
No, admins neither should have access.
Backups should (best case) be immutable.
And off-site...and physical...
The backup was on the same volume as the original data.
The AI deleted the whole volume/backup. 😕
Yes
