Robo-trainer takes the field: Apparently, NFL players now have digital clones. They call it “Digital Athlete,” and it watches every sprint, twist and fall to warn when someone’s about to pull a hamstring. It even flashes red if a player’s overworked (paywall link).

Most aren’t telling anyone. If you’ve got kids, ask what apps they use. No shame, no lectures, just real talk. Be their safe place before someone else pretends to be.

🧨 Microsoft’s China copilot: Microsoft’s finally getting rid of communist China-based engineers on U.S. military cloud projects after a ProPublica report triggered a Pentagon freak-out. Turns out so-called “digital escorts,” security-cleared U.S. babysitters, didn’t understand the tech they were supposed to be safeguarding.

Lonely kids, synthetic pals: This is so sad to me. A new report says a third of kids using AI chatbots feel like they’re talking to a real friend. A quarter say they turn to AI because they literally have no one else. Make sure the kiddos in your family aren’t one of them.
