There is literally no excuse. The fact that there is any resistance to this let alone from multiple people terrifies me.

I just think there's more nuance to it. Some things have an implicit RTO/RPO/SLA of say a day. Risk is also correlated to recovery and rollback. And there's levels of LLMs out there.

Surely in the Venn Diagram of things, there's a slot where it's okay let a Claude Opus agent run on a process with good backups/recovery? Where taking the risk of a 1-hour restore job is worth the LLM agent velocity?

For extra paranoia, surely even Opus/Mythos can't figure out how to destroy log level backups to immutable storage.

  • The only nuance I can see is, does the data matter at all? If it does you shouldn't do this. If it doesn't then who cares, also why even put it in a database.
