His employer. A dad who supposedly kept a photo of him on his desk. None of it checked out — so Amanda did what most of us wouldn't: documented the aisle, the descriptions, every word they said, in case she had to pull the store's surveillance footage. Then she spent a full night piecing together the only theory that fit: they scanned his face.\nA week later she found out she was right. It was an app called Sherlock, and the kids were just testing it. They felt so bad afterward they aborted the whole thing and confessed to their parents.\nBorzou's takeaway is not the one you'd expect. He wants it. In his glasses. Immediately.\nThey cover:\nHow a \"do I know you?\" conversation turns into a data-collection test\nWhy Amanda's instinct was to write everything down — and why Borzou never would have\nThe credit-card-skimming theory, and the red flag that gave the kids away\nFacial recognition is already consumer-grade and already in teenagers' hands\nThe other side: never forgetting a name at an event again\nAmanda's fix for the \"nice to meet you\" vs. \"good to see you\" problem\nWhy being aware is the only real defense left\nGot a weird AI story of your own?
