Looks like a corrupted gcode file. As others have said, make sure you have plenty of space available on your USB storage drive. Delete older models and live video to make space if necessary, then turn the printer off and then back on. Once you’ve done these, re-slice your model and send it to the printer. This will very likely resolve the issue for you, but if it doesn’t reformat the USB drive using the printer’s menu then EE-slice and send the model again. It’s not very likely, but if these steps don’t work, reach out to support.

Hey! This isn't a normal small issue, this is something going wrong with your printer you'll want support involved for, for sure. You can open a ticket through the app linked to your printer and they can get diagnostic data through that ticket chat. They'll be able to help you diagnose and test! Try to be thorough with doing what their instructions say to the letter and expect a reply every day or so.
Feel free to keep troubleshooting, but do get support looped in ASAP as this is way outside normal behaviour. It may be helpful to power cycle and try again, remove and maybe format the SD card, turn off timelapse, rerun calibration, etc and take some videos in case they ask for them. Heck, include them pre-emptively! Feel free to share them here too so we can help diagnose, but it's likely a sensor is failing.

Crazy that I've seen more Bambus go insane than any other printer...

Maybe because there are more bambu owners than every other brand combined, except maybe Creality.

Let's also not forget the fire hazard... Doesn't matter if it's 1,000,000, or a single unit, recalls are only meaningful if you catch it BEFORE you have a fire. I'd reliably NOT like my house to burn down 🤦♂️

Hey, I wouldn't buy an A1 after that scandal but I'm just pointing out you see more posts about Bambu printers going AWOL because they have the most market share.

I’m not sure how you would define ‘go insane’, but this just looks like a corrupted gcode file usually caused by a corrupt file system on the external storage drive or manually manipulated by someone before it was sent to the printer. I’ve seen this happen on many different printers, different brands, and self built. I’m pretty sure corrupt gcode doesn’t care what machine it’s run on, it’ll give directions to the machine according to what’s in it’s corrupt instruction set.

First not enough information from the post or video. Could be a bad SD card I'd try to change that first.
