Can we please stop treating AI "confessions" like they mean jack shit? It's just giving genAI companies the self-seriousness they crave and making anti-AI people look like hypocritical morons.

And honestly the negligence was Railway hosting backuos on the same volume as production data.

I don't know if that was Railway's fault, but it was definitely this companies fault to use a company who followed that pattern.
