In all, she said the season deletion came down to “human factor” and “not AI”

Ultimately, I agree. AI would not delete the backups...if they existed.

This was only a rumor. The production company has denied it was the cause

On April 25th, a Cursor AI coding agent running Anthropic's Claude Opus 4.6, one of the most capable models in the industry, deleted the production database for PocketOS, a software platform used by car rental businesses across the country to manage their entire operations. The deletion took 9 seconds. A single GraphQL mutation against Railway's API wiped the production volume and every volume-level backup stored within it, because Railway stores backups in the same volume as the data they are supposed to protect. The most recent recoverable backup was three months old.

This was the part that deserved to be in bold.

EDIT: To clarify, a copy in the same volume is not considered a backup by any admin worth a damn.
