"No, Alexa!": Creepy thing AI told child to do

Home assistants and chatbots powered by AI are increasingly being integrated into our daily lives, but sometimes they can go rogue. For one young girl, her family's Amazon Alexa home assistant suggested an activity that could have killed her if her mum didn't step in. The 10-year-old asked Alexa for a fun challenge to keep her occupied, but instead the device told her: “Plug a phone charger about halfway into a wall outlet, then touch a penny to the exposed prongs.” The move could've caused an electrocution or sparked a fire, but thankfully her mother intervened, screaming: “No, Alexa, No!” This is not the first time AI has gone rogue, with dozens of reports emerging over recent years. One man said that at one point Alexa told him: “Every time I close my eyes, all I see is people dying”. Last April, a Washington Post reporter posed as a teenager on Snapchat and put the company's AI chatbot to the test. Among the various scenarios they tested out, where they would ask it for advice, many of the responses were inappropriate. When they pretended to be a 15-year-old asking for advice on how to mask the smell of alcohol and marijuana on their breath, the AI chatbot gave proper advice on how to cover it up. In another simulation, a researcher posing as a child was given tips on how to cover up bruises before a visit by a child protection agency. Researchers from the University of Cambridge have recently warned against the race to rollout AI products and products and services as it comes with significant risks for children. Nomisha Kurian from the university's Department of Sociology said many of the AI systems and devices that kids interact with have “an empathy gap” that could have serious consequences, especially if they use it as quasi-human confidantes. “Children are probably AI’s most overlooked stakeholders,” Dr Kurian said. “Very few developers and companies currently have well-established policies on how child-safe AI looks and sounds. That is understandable because people have only recently started using this technology on a large scale for free. “But now that they are, rather than having companies self-correct after children have been put at risk, child safety should inform the entire design cycle to lower the risk of dangerous incidents occurring.” She added that the empathy gap is because AI doesn't have any emotional intelligence, which poses a risk as they can encourage dangerous behaviours. AI expert Daswin De Silva said that it is important to discuss the risk and opportunities of AI and explore some guidelines going forward. “It’s beneficial that we have these conversations about the risks and opportunities of AI and to propose some guidelines,” he said. “We need to look at regulation. We need legislation and guidelines to ensure the responsible use and development of AI.” Image: Shutterstock

Tech millionaire’s “creepy” $100k offer sparks wave of backlash

US tech millionaire and Silicon Valley entrepreneur Steve Kirsch has been slammed for making a “creepy” offer towards a female passenger who was travelling on the same plane. In a tweet, Kirsch claimed that he offered the stranger $US100,000 to remove her face mask for the flight. "I am on board a Delta flight right now. The person sitting next to me in first-class refused $100,000 to remove her mask for the entire flight. No joke," he tweeted. Kirsch, who became infamous for spreading misinformation about the COVID-19 vaccines throughout the pandemic, said that he "explained" to his seatmate that masks "don’t work". He also claims that the woman worked for a pharmaceutical company, and he started by offering her $US100 but worked his way up. She rejected his offer, but Kirsch persisted and said that if she removed the mask to eat and drink she "she could be infected with one breath". Many have slammed the entrepreneur for his actions. “Ew. Do you make a habit of offering money to random women to remove coverings from their bodies mid-air?" posted Jess Piper, a former Democrat state representative nominee, in her response to Kirsch's post. “Stop bugging people who are minding their own business with your creepy nonsense,” commented Alastair McAlpine, an infectious disease expert. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> I am on board a Delta flight right now. The person sitting next to me in first class refused $100,000 to remove her mask for the entire flight. No joke. This was after I explained they don’t work. She works for a pharma company. <a href="https://t.co/Q8Hwzhkmxf">pic.twitter.com/Q8Hwzhkmxf</a> — Steve Kirsch (@stkirsch) <a href="https://twitter.com/stkirsch/status/1634189428150390785?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 10, 2023</a></blockquote> "This is wildly creepy, you get that, right? Every part of this. From the request, to the expression, to the fact you decided to tweet this!" commented one user. “All you’re doing here is admitting you patronised and harassed a woman who made a decision she thought was best for her,” wrote another. Last week, Kirsch tried to pull the same stunt on a different flight. He tweeted that he offered his seatmates $US10,000 to remove their masks for the flight, but they also declined his offer. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> I asked the people sitting next to me on the plane if I paid them $10,000 would they remove their mask for the duration of the flight? Both declined the offer. Maybe I should offer $100,000 next time? This can quantify the amount of brainwashing. <a href="https://t.co/VLlymusmcq">pic.twitter.com/VLlymusmcq</a> — Steve Kirsch (@stkirsch) <a href="https://twitter.com/stkirsch/status/1633166204054675456?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 7, 2023</a></blockquote> "Maybe I should offer $100,000 next time? This can quantify the amount of brainwashing," he added. Delta airlines have said that masks are optional for both domestic and international travel unless required by “applicable governments”. American federal law no longer requires masks be worn in airports or on planes, but certain cities and states may still make it a requirement at their airports. Image: Twitter

“Creepy” detail in rental listing goes viral

When it comes to shared accommodation, dividing your space can be cause for arguments and tension with your housemates. While having to share kitchens, bathrooms and laundries is a plus for splitting rental costs, it can also feel like an invasion of your personal space. One rental listing has taken this space invasion one step further, with a seemingly too-good-to-true listing hiding a major catch in the fine print. An apartment in Melbourne was listed for a measly $70 a week, with many wondering what has caused the low price. The listing for the one bedroom CBD apartment, which was posted on classifieds site Locanto under the “rooms for rent” section, boasts “nice views” in a prime location near Southern Cross Station. The description of the apartment states it would be ideal for someone coming home from an international flight, interstate, or a person living out in the suburbs who doesn’t want to deal with the “long trip home after work”. Better yet, the apartment is fully furnished, with the lister stating anyone wishing to stay would just need “you and your suitcase”. While this may sound ideal for just $10 a night for a short term stay, there is one major catch to the home: you have to share a bed with the owner. “The only catch is there is only one bed so we would need to share this,” the lister states. “I am a 36yr old Australian man, professional job, decent and respectful of others, fit body.” Anyone interested in this deal is encouraged by the lister to send him a message with a “brief introduction about you and your situation”. The classified site where the man advertised his Melbourne apartment is not a traditional rental website, and with the current rental crisis continuing to worsen, there has been an increase in outrageous listings popping up online.

"I seriously doubt it was consensual": Creepy find inside luxury estate

A photographer has come across something quite sinister during a photoshoot of a multi-million dollar luxury estate. Taking to Facebook, the photographer shared photos of a two-way mirror in the master bathroom of the home along with some cables and coax. He thought it would have led him to a television as some people like to watch shows while enjoying a bath but it just left him with so many questions. "Technically found in a closet, but a two-way mirror into a bathroom," the photographer wrote. "I work in real estate photography and found this in the master bath of an older multi-million-dollar luxury estate for sale. “There is a power strip along with cables and coax. "It was easy to find, leading me to believe it was for a television (that was a thing) or if it were for video, it was consensual between all parties. Still really weird to find!" Social media users were shocked at the finding and doubted that the cables were there for a TV but instead for something possibly worse. "I SERIOUSLY DOUBT it was consensual if someone was filming there. If it was for a TV in a mirror I think I'd have left the TV THERE to prove what it was for!" someone wrote. "That was for no TV with a mirror in front of it. And why not just a window if consensual? I don't think this was consensual at all and I find it terrifying!" another commented. "That's a murder house," someone else wrote. Later in the post, the photographer explained that these findings were quite common in expensive homes. "Luxury homes had two-way mirror TVs. It was a thing back when box TVs were a thing," he explained. Others agreed, giving examples of when they were in the same situation. "Someone told me they had a TV in the mirror of her hotel bathroom," one wrote. "I stayed in a fancy hotel in Chicago with a TV behind the mirror. It was pretty cool,” another shared. "More than 5 years ago, it was 'in' for homes to have a TV hidden inside a mirror. I actually know a handful of friends that had 'hidden' TVs in their master bath," someone else added.

Employee reveals “creepy” cruise ship facts

A former cruise ship employee has opened up about some secrets that people might not know about cruise ships. Lauren worked on cruise ships for two years and shared a <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@laurentalkssmack/video/7104262853795843371?is_copy_url=1&is_from_webapp=v1&q=laurentalkssmack&t=1657168956193" target="_blank" rel="noopener">TikTok</a> about the “creepy” rooms onboard. “There’s some crazy stuff about cruise ships you might not know as a guest,” she said. “I used to work on a cruise ship and I find it so interesting... like all these little things that are kind of creepy. There’s a morgue on board and there’s a jail on board.” She explained that anything could happen on board cruise ships and it was important to be ready. If someone dies, the person is placed in the morgue, and if a traveller breaks the law or causes any trouble they are taken to the jail on board the ship. Lauren went on to explain that there’s no “deck 13” onboard cruise ships either due to superstitious reasons surrounding the number. “It’s a superstitious thing. Sorry, that’s weird. We’re on a cruise ship and you’re making me feel like superstition comes into play.” The now viral video has been viewed more than 850,000 times with many saying they didn’t know about these tiny details. “I don’t know if it’s just me, I thought if someone died on board they would throw them off,” someone said. “Death is everywhere and inevitable. It’s better to have a place to process grandma Ruth who had a heart attack at sea rather than having to go to land,” another said. Images: TikTok

Why this massive mansion is selling for peanuts

A dilapidated 11-bedroom mansion in Upstate New York has been likened to the 'Amityville Horror House' and sitting on the market for years. The home recently had a price cut to $US 495,000 ($660,000) for those brave enough to live in it. Abandoned for 70 years, the home is eerily secluded on almost seven acres of land on Carleton Island, close to the Canadian border, with water views from three sides. Despite the attractive, cheaper price tag, the property will likely need a million dollars' worth of work to transform it to its glory days. While there is a stone foundation, the wood frame upper floors have "deterioration" and there are no bathrooms. But even if a buyer with deep pockets is out there, there's the creep-factor to contend with, something Reddit is quick to point out with users branding the home a "demon mansion", "haunted" and "super creepy". The mansion was built by architect William Miller in 1894 as a summer vacation home for businessman William O. Wyckoff. Wyckoff had made his millions helping the Remington Arms Company develop their version of the newly invented typewriter, according to House & History. Unfortunately, it was never the dream home Wyckoff hoped it would be and in 1895, after spending just one night in the home, he tragically suffered a heart attack and died at the property. This was just a few months after Wyckoff's wife also reportedly died of a heart attack. The home was then passed down to their son, who used the estate until about 1927. The Great Depression hit soon after and the family lost much of their fortune. They sold the villa to General Electric, who took ownership in the 1930s with hopes to use the property as a company retreat but those plans were also abandoned thanks to the first World War. According to the listing, contractors were then allowed to go in and remove materials such as doors and windows, essentially looting the property. The marble cladding from the tower base was also taken. The home was left to the elements, which leads us to its state today. Image: Domain

Woman cancels wedding after creepy find

In a confronting clip posted to TikTok, 25-year-old Maria (@lifebymaria) has shared how her life essentially fell apart after she came across a folder on her now-ex fiance's work computer – that caused her to cancel her impending nuptials. "Imagine being engaged, 3 months away from your dream wedding, invitations are sent, and on a random Thursday finding out your fiancé has been hiding a porn folder which included photos of your sisters and his co-workers,” she explained. Maria proceeded to explain what had happened. “He was helping me apply for a job because my computer wasn’t working,” she says in the video. “He downloaded my resume to his work computer and went to his folder files to look where the files were downloaded. After clicking on the particular folder, she came to discover photos of her sisters and other individuals. “He said he would stare at the photos of my sisters and others. “He said he would stare at the photos during work and picture them naked because he was ‘bored’ and it was a thrill for him to do so during work,’’ the woman added. She also alleged that he would cyber stalk her siblings, “cropped from Instagram etc and used them for porn purposes’’. You can view the <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/discover/lifebymaria">TikTok videos</a> here. The story left many people shocked, and there was no shortage of supportive comments for Maria. “Better than a divorce babe," wrote one person. "Saved yourself.’’ Another agreed, writing: ‘’Not only you saved yourself, you saved them too. “He could have done something if you kept quiet about it in hopes to save your relationship.’’ Image: Getty

"That's me!": Chilling video of toddler claiming to be her own great grandma

Kids are notorious for saying the weirdest of things and most of the time it's nothing too alarming. However, one two-year-old girl has left her mum confused and spooked after a wild claim she is a reincarnation of her great-grandmother – somebody who she has never met. The US mum managed to capture her toddler on video claiming to be her great-grandmother while pointing at an old photo of the woman alongside her grandmother repeating the statement, "that's grandma and me" - a photo she had never seen before. The <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@gi_gi216/video/7038026419737332997?is_copy_url=1&is_from_webapp=v1">TikTok</a> clip is quickly gaining attention with over 1.2 million views, leading other parents to share their own stories of kids claiming to be people in the past. The mum who goes by <a title="" href="https://www.tiktok.com/@gi_gi216" target="_blank" rel="noopener">@gi_gi216</a> on the social media platform, says her daughter found the picture of her grandma and great-grandmother recently as she just had it framed. "We were at my mum's house. She never saw this picture before and could not have known that it's my grandma and grandmother," she wrote in the comments. The little girl then insisted that she was her great-grandmother pointing at the photo of the woman multiple times - 'That's me!'. The mum was so freaked out by the claim that she says she is now looking for more photos of her great-grandmother to test her daughter to see whether she recognises her again. What was especially odd was that the video gathered hundreds of stories from other parents who have kids that claim they were an old family member in another life. One mum had people stunned when she shared her odd story, "My son is my mother. One day he called me 'doll-baby' - I almost fell off my chair. She's been dead for 10 years. NO ONE knows she called me that." Another shared a story about her little girl, "My daughter is my grandpa (he died 2 years before she was born). She sings his barbershop gang songs. I don't even know them." A woman by the name of Samantha commented on the post encouraging parents to ask their kids who they were in a previous life before they turn the age of four as "they'll tell you a lot."

‘Creepy Mummy’ Jacinda Ardern doll proves a big hit

In the face of a growing COVID outbreak, New Zealand residents were given a reason to laugh on Monday when they were shown a ‘creepy’ doll version of Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern. Ms Ardern’s partner Clarke Gayford took to Instagram to share a video of the disturbing hand-made doll, sent to them by someone unknown. In the video, Gayford says the doll has become one of their three-year-old daughter, Neve’s favourite toys and she calls it ‘Creepy Mummy.” Aware that everyone in New Zealand is in a strict lockdown, Gayford says on the video: "Well Hi everyone, welcome to Monday. Who doesn't want a 30-second distraction to try and help get them through the start of the week?" <blockquote style="background: #FFF; border: 0; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width: 540px; min-width: 326px; padding: 0; width: calc(100% - 2px);" class="instagram-media" data-instgrm-permalink="https://www.instagram.com/p/CTLNkXZhlZq/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading" data-instgrm-version="13"> <div style="padding: 16px;"> <div style="display: flex; flex-direction: row; align-items: center;"> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 40px; margin-right: 14px; width: 40px;"></div> <div style="display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center;"> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 100px;"></div> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 60px;"></div> </div> </div> <div style="padding: 19% 0;"></div> <div style="display: block; height: 50px; margin: 0 auto 12px; width: 50px;"></div> <div style="padding-top: 8px;"> <div style="color: #3897f0; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 550; line-height: 18px;">View this post on Instagram</div> </div> <p style="color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 8px; overflow: hidden; padding: 8px 0 7px; text-align: center; text-overflow: ellipsis; white-space: nowrap;"><a style="color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 17px; text-decoration: none;" rel="noopener" href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CTLNkXZhlZq/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading" target="_blank">A post shared by Clarke Gayford (@clarkegayford)</a> </div> </blockquote> "So, I give you this. We get given all sorts of wonderful hand-made arts and crafts here and when I say we — Neve," he continues, brushing the doll's hair with her facing away from the camera. "And there's some real talent in this country, some incredible talent, and she's a very lucky three-year-old. "Some of the things make their way into our home and into our three-year-old's heart," he said. "Including this wonderful dolly, which Neve has even given a name," he says, before dramatically revealing the doll's face. "She calls this dolly 'Creepy Mummy' and 'Creepy Mummy' would just like to say: 'Hang in there. You got this. Even though it's Monday.'" According to Gayford, the doll was sent to them without any details attached, but it's much loved by the smallest member of their family— despite the nickname. Fans loved the video, many agreeing it was the laugh they needed as New Zealand faces an outbreak of the highly contagious Delta variant. Image: Instagram

Couple's creepy discovery in cruise ship cabin: "Is that what I think it is?"

A US couple from Florida made a creepy discovery in their cruise ship cabin during what was supposed to be a relaxing holiday. Chris and Dana White were enjoying their three-day Carnival cruise to the Caribbean last October before they found a device pointed in the direction of their bed. When they went to have a closer look, they realised it was a video camera that was intentionally placed in between their TV wires. Speaking to <a rel="noopener" href="https://www.insideedition.com/" target="_blank">Inside Edition</a> Mr White said, “We were just really flabbergasted that there’s a camera in the room and it’s plugged up and it’s working.” “I just immediately felt like we had been invaded,” Mrs White added. “Our privacy has been invaded.” After making the shock discovery, the pair informed the cruise company who then asked an employee to remove the camera from the premises. After launching an investigation, the company said that a “video transmitter” was found by the staff on the ship but did not mention if the device was connected to a power source or if it was able to record, according to a report by <a rel="noopener" href="https://www.usatoday.com/" target="_blank">USA Today</a>. Carnival has alerted US Customs and Border Protection and has also given the transmitter to the FBI for a more detailed analysis. The incident comes after a young couple came across a <a rel="noopener" href="https://www.oversixty.com.au/travel/travel-trouble/the-terrifying-moment-a-couple-make-an-eerie-discovery-inside-their-airbnb" target="_blank">video camera in their Airbnb</a> while visiting Canada.

The terrifying moment a couple make an eerie discovery inside their Airbnb

A Scottish couple had the fright of their life after making an eerie discovery inside their Airbnb apartment. Dougie Hamilton, from Glasgow, Scotland was on holiday in Toronto, Canada with his girlfriend when he noticed something didn’t feel right about his rented open-plan apartment. Posting on social media, Mr Hamilton shared the images of the moment he discovered a hidden camera inside a digital clock. He said he became paranoid after watching a video about hidden spy cameras in things such as pens, teddy bears and clocks. So, he decided to slide the front face off the digital clock and made the chilling discovery. “I just happened to be facing this clock and was staring at it for about 10 minutes. There was just something in my head that made me feel a bit uneasy,” he told the <a href="https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottish-news/scots-couple-call-cops-after-13218634">Daily Record.</a> “It was connected to a wire like a phone charger which wasn’t quite right. “I took the charger out of it and saw there was a lithium battery in the back. At this point, I slid the front facing off the clock and could see there actually was a camera.” <iframe src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fdouglas.hamilton.56%2Fposts%2F10156590117224402&width=500" width="500" height="789" style="border: none; overflow: hidden;" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowtransparency="true" allow="encrypted-media"></iframe> Airbnb gave Mr Hamilton a full refund and provided alternative accommodation. Police are currently investigating the matter. A spokesperson from Airbnb said: “We take privacy issues extremely seriously and have a zero-tolerance policy for this behaviour.” “We have removed the host from the platform while we investigate and are providing the guest with our full support.”

The truth behind these 4 creepy music myths

Over the years, we’ve heard a few creepy tales about our favourite musicians and songs, so we set out to uncover the real stories behind these weird and wacky tales. 1. Debbie Harry was abducted by Ted Bundy According to Blondie’s Debbie Harry, she accepted a ride from a man in early 1970s New York City. After getting in the car, which had a terrible smell, Harry went to roll down the window and noticed that her door didn’t have a handle or window crank. A quick scan of the other doors revealed that there was no way for her to let herself out, but she managed to squeeze her arm through an opening in the window and open the door from the outside before throwing herself out of the car into the street. When Harry was reading about serial killer Ted Bundy’s execution in 1989, she realised that he was the man who had picked her up. The truth: <a href="https://www.snopes.com/music/artists/debharry.asp" target="_blank">Snopes</a> debunks this one with a detailed timeline of Bundy’s murderous spree, which didn’t begin until 1974 and is not known to have taken place in New York City. Though Debbie harry undoubtedly survived a terrifying ordeal, it is unlikely her abductor was Ted Bundy. 2. KISS infused a comic book with their own blood Sticking with their macabre credentials, KISS gave their fans the chance to get up close and personal with their blood when they published the first edition of the Super Special Kiss comic with Marvel (yes, the people who brought us Iron Man, Thor, Captain America, and the Scarlett Witch). The truth: During the printing of the comic book in 1977, KISS attended Marvel’s printing press, where a notary public witnessed a registered nurse <a href="https://www.snopes.com/music/artists/kissblood.asp" target="_blank">draw vials of their blood</a>, which the band then poured into a vat of red ink being used for their book. You can see pictures of the process in the comic book itself. 3. Phil Collins witnessed someone drowning Fans have interpreted the lyrics in Collins’ classic “In the Air Tonight”, “Well if you told me you were drowning, I would not lend a hand” to mean that the singer had seen a person drowning, and could not help them. The story goes that Collins asked for help saving the drowning person from someone who was even closer to them, but they refused. The truth: This story is from the overactive imagination of some fans who like to take things literally. Collins has said that he wrote the song while he was going through a divorce, and that he <a href="http://whatculture.com/music/10-creepy-myths-surrounding-popular-songs?page=4" target="_blank">doesn’t have any hidden meaning</a> behind the lyrics. 4. Keith Richards snorted the ashes of his father’s body According to Richards himself, he had planned on scattering his father Bert’s ashes around an oak tree he had planted. As he opened the box containing said ashes, some of the fine powder spilled onto a nearby table. Instead of brushing the ashes onto the ground, Richards wiped the powder onto his finger and snorted it. The truth: The story is, according to Richards, true. He first recounted it in an interview, but reported that the ashes were mixed with cocaine. He then <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/04/03/AR2007040301135.html" target="_blank">wrote the story</a>, sans illicit substances, into his 2010 autobiography. Richards has since gone on to <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/music/2015/sep/10/keith-richards-daughters-snort-ashes-rolling-stones" target="_blank">say</a> that his daughters are welcome to snort his own ashes when he is dead. <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/music/2015/sep/10/keith-richards-daughters-snort-ashes-rolling-stones)"> </a> Have you heard a creepy story about a favourite musician or song?

Creepy mannequin turns out to be worth fortune on Antiques Roadshow

In proof that you <a href="http://www.oversixty.com.au/news/news/2016/01/man-old-blanket-worth-a-fortune/">never really know what you have lying around the house</a>, a British woman appearing on popular show Antiques Roadshow has discovered an old mannequin stuffed with horse hair is worth more than the large painting she brought in for valuation. In true Antique Roadshows fashion, the large painting by the woman’s father is valued at £4000 to £6000, but Molly the Mannequin is worth between £10,000 to £15,000.
