Deletions happen, but that is what you have backups for. I do not understand how you can have hundreds of days of work and never test if your backups work. |

Wouldn't surprise me if the editing process involves a lot of files on cheap storage with little to no backup. |

The denial is from the TV4, not the production company, and it's not so much a denial as just saying "we didn't hear that AI did it", TV4 confirms the entire final cut is gone: > Det som vi har fått från produktionen är att det har varit ett tekniskt haveri som har gjort att material som är klippt har försvunnit och att vi därför måste klippas om på nytt. Och att vi därför behöver skjuta fram premiären till 2027, säger Ludvig Ternstedt, pressansvarig för ”The challenge”. https://www.aftonbladet.se/nojesbladet/a/31oE8A/the-challeng... |

Yes, but the submission article (https://swedenherald.com/article/tv4-postpones-the-challenge...) is after that Aftonbladet article, and in the submission, they deny it's because of AI and claims it's because one of the backup systems failed... > “It is not true that some independent AI agent went in and deleted the material,” says Mia Lindqvist, program director at TV4, to Sveriges Radio’s P4 Stockholm. > A backup system at the production company failed, she says. “This means they now have to edit everything from scratch.” |

> “It is not true that some independent AI agent went in and deleted the material,” That's odd, when I viewed the article the quote was them saying it wasn't 'some evil AI agent' but in the literal minutes since the quote has been replaced with one saying 'independent AI agent'. Wayback Machine confirms this. When I initially read it the quote could be plausibly interpreted as 'well it wasn't some evil AI agent that did this'. |

You don't get to blame AI if it irreversibly deletes your data. You either didn't have backup or didn't contain your agent to a place it cannot do irreversible harm. Actually Toy Story 2 was also (almost) lost because backups were not working for month+: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toy_Story_2#Troubled_productio... A stay at home mom working remotely (In 1998!) to take care of newborn had a copy on her computer... |

Pedantic, but 'Stay at home' generally refers to someone who's chosen to not partake in the work-force, and instead raise a child/children. "Stay at home mom working remotely" is paradoxical, I think. This doesn't take away from your point, though. |

My guess on root cause: They did not actually test restore from backups. So most likely nothing new under the sun. |

Are you talking about the misinformation that AI deleted the TV show, while the channel themselves deny this? This sort of misinformation will continue to increase? Shocker |
