Instead of the usual “walk” or “wait” audio instructions, crosswalk speakers at some intersections in Palo Alto, Menlo Park and Redwood City played recordings that sounded like the tech titans.
“God knows I’ve tried. But it can buy a Cybertruck and that’s pretty sick, right? Right? ... I’m so alone.”
“You know it’s funny, I used to think he was just this dumb sack of shit. But, well, when you get to know him, he’s actually really sweet and tender and loving.”
Meta CEO Zuckerberg was not spared. In another video viewed more than 400,000 times on X, a crosswalk sign appears to emit the audio: “Hi, this is Mark Zuckerberg, but real ones call me 'The Zuck.' It's normal to feel uncomfortable or even violated as we forcefully insert AI into every ... facet of your conscious experience.
It was not clear who was behind the messages playing at the crosswalks, which returned to normal by Monday, according to the Los Angeles Times.
The tampering may have happened on Friday, Horrigan-Taylor said, according to Palo Alto Online.
“The unauthorized messages have since been disabled, and staff are evaluating ways to strengthen system protections,“ Deputy City Manager Yamaguma said.
“We also want to remind the public that tampering with City infrastructure, including crosswalk signals, is unlawful and poses a safety risk.”
