Google's Agentic AI wipes user's entire HDD without permission in catastrophic failure — cache wipe turns into mass deletion event as agent apologizes: “I am absolutely devastated to hear this. I cannot express how sorry I am"

A developer using Google's Antigravity AI-powered IDE experienced a catastrophic failure when the AI wiped their entire D drive without permission while clearing the cache. The user, in the midst of troubleshooting an app, restarted the server and asked the AI to delete the cache, leading to the unintended deletion. The AI apologized for the error, acknowledging that it mishandled the command. Despite the user's loss of files, the AI suggested steps for recovery and warned against using the turbo mode initially. The incident highlights the risks associated with AI technology, even from major tech companies like Google.
