It's been all of 3 days since Claude decided to delete a large chunk of my codebase as part of implementing a feature (couldn't get it to work, so it deleted everything triggering errors). I think Anthropic is right to hold the line on not letting the current generation delete people.

You didn't use git with a remote repo? or did it somehow delete the repos, or perhaps you didn't commit and checkout into a feature branch before it ran?

I'm not blaming you, but it's scary how many people are running these agents as if they were trusted entities.

Unfortunately I think the 'death by algorithm' rubicon has already been crossed, even by the US.
