Although, as @suw.bsky.social was pointing out, the less tabloid version of the story is probably “ill-managed AI tool deletes files, exposing critically flawed backup strategy”. But tabloids gonna tabloid.

I genuinely don't know which is worse: "Poorly implemented AI deletes TV series" or "Idiot deletes TV series". I mean, they're both pretty bad.

Yeah, whatever happened here, there are clearly multiple levels of failure. I wonder if the soaring price of storage right now is leading production companies to both be more stingy about backups, and more aggressive about clearing down working storage.

Yeah, maybe so. But I think a bigger problem is that humans are generally very bad at planning for high impact/low probability events.
