Grok bot spends $217 of a $1000 budget to order itself a 3D-printed body

Developer Baconbrix gave his Grok bot a $1000 budget to build itself a body — and the bot autonomously ordered 3D-printed parts shipped to his home, spending $217.15 so far. Screenshots show it placed an Amazon order ($126.96) and a Craftcloud 3D-print order ($90.19) via an approved one-time card, and even flagged its own risk assessment: the built robot may weigh about twice what the simulation assumed, so the first hop test might need stronger servos.
