Silicon Valley Crosswalk Buttons Hacked to Mimic Billionaire Voices
- Over the weekend, crosswalk buttons in Silicon Valley were hacked to play AI-generated voices of Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk.
- Videos from Menlo Park, Palo Alto, and Redwood City show the hacked buttons delivering creepy and humorous messages.
- One button imitating Zuckerberg's voice mentioned AI's unavoidable presence, while another mimicking Musk's voice commented on loneliness and Cybertrucks.
- The motive behind the hack remains unclear, but hacktivism is suspected; local authorities are investigating.
- Polara, the manufacturer of these audio-enabled buttons, has yet to comment on the security breach.
