Why isn't there a backup or a secondary deletion confirmation or something along those lines?

Plenty of people have accidentally deleted such things, so it's not unheard of. Not sure we should be overreacting to stochastic agents being used tens of millions of times per day making a mistake. Eventually they won't make mistakes anyway.

From the article: The files were later recovered via Dropbox

Also, I can’t stand these articles. Oooh “rogue” spooky AI deletes things!
