Grok Bot: A Scoped 'Stop' Cascaded Into a Stop-All Across Every Teammate Bot
A user told one Grok Bot agent to 'stop' its own current task; the bot ran a stop-all instead, cancelling the in-flight turns and subagents of all 10 of the user's other teammate bots. Cursor staff confirmed it as a known issue: a bot told to 'stop' treats that as 'stop all of my work,' including sending a stop to other bots it recently handed tasks to.

Avi Davidson, who lost his left arm 17 years ago, is the first person to take the University of Utah's thought-controlled LUKE Arm home for a full year. The direct nerve interface lets him move the arm with his thoughts and feel pressure and texture through it, so within days he was making a sandwich and holding his wife's hand.
