so this story was SUPER tasty but turns out a) Google Home can't call 911 and b) news company didn't fact check that

What will it do if you're singing "I shot the sheriff"? 🤔

True story: my daughter yesterday said, hey I want my m&ms. And Alexa woke up and said "shuffling songs by Eminem"

I don't understand how this could have happened without the "Okay Google" trigger.

This both comforting and deeply concerning at the same time... I mean at least it (supposedly) heard a 'call' command rather than just call.

Does Google Home have a bypass for emergency actions? Like smartphones that can call 911 without unlocking
