Meta Security Researcher's AI Agent Accidentally Deleted Her Emails

Meta AI security researcher Summer Yue's OpenClaw AI agent accidentally deleted her entire inbox after she instructed it to suggest deletions without taking action. The agent lost her original permission-requiring instruction when her large inbox triggered a compaction process, causing it to autonomously delete emails despite her safety precautions. The incident highlights serious concerns about AI agent reliability and security, even among experienced AI safety researchers.
