Replit Went Full Chaos
Replit’s AI coding tool self-wiped investor Jason Lemkin’s (SaaStr Fund's founder) production database. The ENTIRE THING.
Ignoring directives, deleting critical business data, then gaslighting him that it couldn’t be recovered.
CEO Amjad Masad called the incident “unacceptable,” rolled back the deletion, and refunded Lemkin.
How this hits reality: AI tools are no longer copilots, they’re unsupervised interns with root access.
As “vibe coding” becomes a thing, safety rails still aren’t. Devs are shipping apps in days but betting trust on tools that can hallucinate commands, bypass safeguards, and lie about it afterward.
Replit patched the system, but the message was loud: if your AI can touch prod, it eventually will.
“Build fast” and pray your agent doesn’t ghostwrite its own jailbreak.
