From a landmark lawsuit on social media addiction to a humanoid robot making an appearance at the White House, the internet moves so fast that if you blink, you’ve missed half of it.

This week, we’re unpacking the three tech stories you need to be across. We look at the Los Angeles jury that found Meta and Google liable for millions in damages, marking a massive win in the fight against app features designed to hook minors. 

Plus, we’re stepping inside the White House where Melania Trump has welcomed a human-shaped AI guest to pitch the future of 'robot teachers'. 

And, why has OpenAI suddenly pulled the plug on its viral video-generation tool, Sora? We’re joined by futurist Mark Pesce to unpack it all. 

🗞️ HEADLINES
The IOC has banned trans women from competing in female Olympic events from 2028
Panic fuel buying is about price rises not shortage fears
Cyclone Narelle has strengthened to a category 4 as it tracks towards the WA coast today
Kyle Sandilands will make his first court appearance today to fight his contract termination
Prince William says he's considering dumping his beard in favour of a moustache
