Seems like a hoax more than anything. Also, what's up with that domain name?

  It definitely happened, Amazon said it was a bug that caused Alexa to be more likely to interpret silence or random noise as "laugh" after a false trigger (or something along those lines). I suspect it was either a legitimate bug or if I wanna be more adventurous, an internal prank/easter egg that somehow went wrong and got pushed to customers.

    My guess is that the were working on a "laugh track" skill, that laughs with you when it hears laughter -- and either it was pushed too early, or was just too sensitive in its determination of what laughter is. Many dry sitcoms become funny with a proper laugh track. Why not your life?
