And is Seattle, “Jeff Bezos” says the crosswalk is sponsored by Amazon Prime and exhorts you not to tax the rich.

this is fun.<p>it seems most of these crosswalks can be configured via app from <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;polara.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;polara.com&#x2F;</a> . So either the authentication was leaked or got physically flashed&#x2F;hacked?

Absolutely random thought semi-related to the topic.<p>This is one of the better voice clones of Musk but it&#x27;s still really bad because he never lost his whatever accent, and every voice clone I&#x27;ve heard (mostly the ones on fake Starship launch videos) speaks with perfect American accent.<p>Something to think about I guess :)

I wonder how soon it will be before some company starts renting these out from the city for ad space.

I&#x27;ve come across several of these that if you press them enough say &quot;Change Password&quot;. I&#x27;m guessing they&#x27;ve never had their passwords changed from default.

Very nice. Totally harmless prank and it clowns on jerks who deserve a good clowning! Hope the pranksters continue and keep it lowkey so they don’t get caught.

This HN post is <i>seven days old</i> but displayed and ranked as if it was posted 9 hours ago, with all timestamps falsified. The déjà vu effect is disconcerting and an absolute mind fuck. Please stop doing this, ffs. The person who thought this would be a good idea is a madman.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;hn.algolia.com&#x2F;?query=Silicon%20Valley%20crosswalk%20buttons%20apparently%20hacked%20to%20imitate%20Musk%2C%20Zuck%20voices&amp;type=story&amp;dateRange=all&amp;sort=byDate&amp;storyText=false&amp;prefix&amp;page=0" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;hn.algolia.com&#x2F;?query=Silicon%20Valley%20crosswalk%2...</a>

Political satire is the best form of satire, but someone should hack them in the other direction too.

If we could not fuck with accessibility devices which disabled people rely on, that&#x27;d be great. Thanks.
