What they did

A home-lab owner saw a post with a setup recipe for running a new DeepSeek model across two NVIDIA DGX Spark machines. Still in bed, they sent Grok Bot the post link and asked it to download the model and set up the recipe. Grok Bot wasn't installed on the Sparks, but they were on the same network as its computer, and it had everything ready to test by the time they got up.

How it went

Single user report in a viral Grok Bot thread: DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash-1017 EXL3 recipe on 2x DGX Spark, set up from a post link while the user was still in bed. User says they don't know exactly how it reached the Sparks, only that they share a network with the Grok Bot computer. Giving an agent network access to other machines is a real risk; limit what it can reach

Prompt

Cleaned version rewritten from the source — not a direct quote.

Here's a post with a setup recipe: [link]. Read it, then download what it needs and set it up on [my machines, with how you can reach them]. Before you start, tell me how much disk space and download size it needs and ask me to confirm. Don't change anything else on those machines. When it's ready, give me the exact command to test it and a short list of what you changed.

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.
