Developer Baconbrix says a Grok bot ordered itself a robot body and guided him through assembly over a call. The update: with the battery disconnected, the board drew power from his Mac and started smoking, forcing him to tear it apart. Grok's advice—unplug power, upload the program, disconnect USB-C, reconnect everything—and buy a fire extinguisher.
