   Musk says SpaceX will make users whole if Grok Bot errs or leaks cards

   Elon Musk advised X users to photograph their credit card, drop it in the chat and let Grok Bot find the best deal and order it — then promised that if the agent botches a purchase or leaks a card, “SpaceX will make you whole.” He did not say what that pledge covers, and SpaceX did not immediately respond to Business Insider's request for comment. According to the report, the terms of service of Musk's AI company (referred to in the piece as the renamed SpaceXSI) let it store user data and credentials in its cloud, require human review of financial transactions, and state that it is “not responsible for User Content or Agentic Actions.” Grok Bot has no free tier and starts with the $30-a-month Premium tier of The X Subscription, launched on 12 October; Musk also posted that it bought him five Lego Star Wars sets for $241.34, while one user said his Grok Bot email, delivery address and order number had leaked.

   Musk's Grok Bot Lego order screenshot leaked his address; teen claims order canceled

   Elon Musk posted a screenshot early Saturday showing him using Grok Bot to research "the best Lego Star Wars sets for small children" and place an order directly. The image showed order number T517579349, five Lego sets totaling $241.34 paid with an American Express card, plus recipient name Elon Musk, a Texas address at 104 Buckingham Rd, Austin, and the reply email [email protected]. A 20-year-old X user, Enderman, who has roughly 154,000 followers, mocked Musk for exposing personal information and posted screenshots of a chat with Lego's AI customer service agent Sophia, saying a cancellation request had been submitted. Musk replied that the address is not his home but a mail drop for his security team and that the order was not canceled; Grok Bot then checked the Lego order page and said all five sets remain at $241.34 with status "In Warehouse," which Lego says means the order can no longer be canceled or changed, adding that its inbox is being flooded with prank mail and that someone registered a Lego account with that address.

   Musk touts Grok Bot card-photo shopping; OpenAI's Tibo mocks security risk

   Elon Musk posted on X that users can simply photograph their credit card, send it into the chat box, and Grok Bot will search the web for the best price and place the order. OpenAI's Codex and ChatGPT lead Thibault Sottiaux replied with an AI-generated fake credit card, implying the security risk of handing payment credentials to an AI. Users said Amazon had blocked Grok Bot; Musk said Grok would find another route and posted a screenshot of a Lego Star Wars set ordered through Lego's website. According to WIRED, that screenshot exposed the order number, price paid, delivery and billing addresses, the last four credit-card digits and the email used; one X user reportedly used those details to get Lego's customer-service chatbot "Sophia" to cancel the order, while another said the delivery was reopened with the quantity changed to 400 and a new address. Lego declined to comment, and Musk said his order was not cancelled after all.

   LEGO: lifting-free exocentric-to-egocentric video generation

   An arXiv paper proposes LEGO, a method that generates egocentric video from a single exocentric recording without depth estimation, point-cloud lifting or reprojection. Instead, an LVSM-style transformer view synthesizer is fine-tuned to render the egocentric view directly, resolving cross-view correspondence internally; its probabilistic mapping averages each region over candidate source locations, which preserves structure but softens fine texture. The authors argue this trade-off suits a diffusion generator that restores detail during denoising, and that the concentration of the correspondence distribution also yields a per-region confidence used to mask low-confidence areas and guide early layout-forming steps. They report it consistently outperforms the explicit state-of-the-art pipeline and generalizes to other datasets without retraining.
