Was this that video making the rounds where Alexa does the thing that Alexa does every time it has no idea how to answer you but everyone is going nuts because they think it means something?

Yeah what is up with that, how can that video be copyrighted lol. Does Amazon own rights to the sound of the voice of Alexa? That shows how ridiculous the IP law system has become lol. This is literally someone taking a video of a household device.

The plot thickens, maybe the CIA put in the DMCA request. :p

Again... This is standard Alexa behavior. I don't know why this is so popular. Alexa would do the same thing if you said "Alexa, Huggmfuggamajuggabooboo".

That's what I'm thinking. I have an Echo Dot and it does this a lot when it brain farts.

I'm just waiting until Alexa starts saying, "exterminate!" like her little friend to the left there. :D

Though to be fair, Siri or Cortana might compel us all to "upgrade" before that happens.
