What they did

After his kids asked why a straw looks bent in water, a parent asked Grok Bot to explain light refraction. It built a playable 3D game in a single HTML file: an archerfish shoots insects off leaves, first misses by aiming where the fly appears, then corrects for the bend in the light (n = 1.33) and hits.

How it went

He says his kids watched it miss, learn and hit, and now they get Snell's law.

Ask your bot for a security review of an email that passed every check

An email from [email protected] landed in a Tesla engineer's inbox. It passed SPF, DKIM and DMARC (the checks that confirm who sent an email) and showed the blue check, but something felt off, so he asked his Grok Bot to do a security review. It found a hidden phishing link, explained why every safety check had passed, and wrote a report to xAI with a proposed fix. He then had it add a security routine that checks his email for anything phishy going forward.
