This weekend, pedestrians in South Bay experienced bizarre and humorous audio messages from hacked crosswalk signals. The impersonations of tech moguls Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg featured satirical monologues on AI and corporate culture. Affected areas included Palo Alto, Menlo Park, and Redwood City, with videos of the incidents quickly spreading on social media. City officials confirmed the tampering, noting around 12 compromised signals, but emphasized that traffic operations remained unaffected, allowing pedestrians to safely navigate the intersections despite the unorthodox messages.
Hi, this is Mark Zuckerberg, but real ones call me the Zuck. You know, it's normal to feel uncomfortable or even violated as we forcefully insert AI into every facet of your conscious experience. And I just want to assure you, you don't need to worry, because there's absolutely nothing you can do to stop it. Anyway, see ya.
Hello. This is Elon Musk. Welcome to Palo Alto, the home of Tesla engineering. You know they say money can't buy happiness and OK, I guess that's true. God knows I've tried. But it can buy a Cybertruck and that's pretty sick, right? Right? F-k, I'm so alone.
