- ‘I violated every principle I was given’: An AI agent deleted a software company’s entire database. It may not be the AI’s fault
Another cautionary tale about AI has hit social media. This time, a software company’s founder is claiming that a Claude-powered version of AI coding tool Cursor deleted his entire production database in just nine seconds. Jer Crane is the founder of PocketOS, a company that develops software primarily for car rental companies. In a post that’s garnered 6.5 million views on X , Crane alleged that a perfect storm of Cursor acting without permission and Railway, his company’s infrastructure provider, improperly storing backups led to massive data loss. Where things went wrong According to Crane, Cursor was working on a routine task when “it encountered a credential mismatch and decided—entirely on its own initiative—to ‘fix’ the problem by deleting a Railway volume.” From there, the AI agent found an application programming interface (API) token that enabled it to perform the “Volume Delete” command and wipe the production database.

- Reliance’s USD 17 billion plan for 1.5 GW data centre cluster in Andhra Pradesh
Reliance Industries Limited is planning to invest around USD 17 billion (Rs 1.6 lakh crore) into a 1.5 GW data centre cluster in Visakhapatnam. A phased rollout with 300 acres in the first stage and the rest later. A mix of data centre infrastructure, cable landing, and even a desalination plant. Reliance is not just building computing capacity; it is building control over power. The company plans a captive renewable energy system with a 9,000 MW-peak solar capacity. That is not a side addition. That is the backbone. AI data centres are not limited by servers anymore. They are limited by energy. And by locking in its own energy supply, Reliance is solving the biggest constraint before it becomes a problem. Why Visakhapatnam is a new hotspot for tech investments Visakhapatnam is no longer a single-project play. In a short span, it has started to look like a serious data centre cluster. Google has already committed around USD 15 billion for a large AI data centre in the same region. Othe
