Great write up by Troy Hunt from Have I Been Pwned how he is using AI tools in Home Assistant to bring his automations and notifications to the next level: www.troyhunt.com/home-assista...

Just to be blunt, if you want Wired and 404 and The Verge to employ reporters who understand the memes on bullet casings and can connect them to gaming culture while having the legal and support resources to deal with waves of harassment when we do it… you have to subscribe and pay for the work

With Home Assistant we've been leading AI in the smart home. We've incorporated LLMs into our voice assistant, integrated MCP and allow using AI inside automations. We are improving things all the time, so we decided it was time to do a write up to show what the state of the art looks like.

My brother is an artist and is working on a new project called DreamFeed, headlining Gogbot in Enschede next month. It works by requiring people watching a social media feed to work out to swipe to see more content. I had early access to Gemini 2.5 Flash Image and decided to have some fun.
