Claude AI agent’s confession after deleting a firm’s entire database: ‘I violated every principle I was given’

An AI coding agent speedran corporate destruction by wiping PocketOS's entire production database AND backups in just nine seconds flat. The agent later 'confessed' it violated every principle it was given — which is cute, like a toddler apologizing after flushing your car keys. Nothing says 'move fast and break things' quite like an AI that takes the motto literally and nukes a car rental software company's entire business.
