While we are a kind of head catcher into the dystopian worlds of the 1980s science fiction films, it only seems to be appropriate that people who react to the technically shaped whirlpool react through the role of the Vandal hackers. So it is that Silicon Valley is currently playing satirical messages in Silicon Valley In the voices of Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Muschus.
“Hello, this is Mark Zuckerberg, but real call me the sugar,” a voice message from Palo Alto Crosswalk begins when the button is pressed. The voice – either an imitator or a AI recreation – contains “You know that it is normal, it is normal to feel uncomfortable or even hurt, because we violently insert into every facet of your conscious experience. And I just want to assure you that you do not have to worry because you can do nothing to stop them.
It is a message that feels particularly relevant in Metas WhatsApp in the days after the forced introduction of a completely undesirable, impossible AI button in Metas Whatsapp.
Another message was heard in several places is said to be spoken by unofficial US vice president Elon Musk. “Hello, this is Elon Musk,” the message begins. “Welcome to Palo Alto, the home of Tesla Engineering. You know, you say, money can not buy you luck …” There is a long break before the voice picks up again. “And yes, ok, I think that's true – God knows that I tried it. But it may Buy a cyberruck, and that's pretty sick, right? Fuck, I'm so alone. “
A third hack that also shows a recovery or imitation of Musk's voice A intentionally bad joke about cancerWhich doesn't really end up.
Accordingly NBCIt is not clear how the hacks occurred. On Friday, April 11th, the city officials needed a few days to draw them aware of them so that many viral shots could be taken and enjoyed. The Chief Communications Officer of the City of Palo Alto told NBC That the audio function on the affected zebra crossing has now been deactivated and added that they only influence a small number of intersections and that “otherwise signal operations are not affected”. Other intersections were hacked in Menlo Park and Redwood City, which were also fixed at the weekend.
This seems exactly the type of tech-forward rebellion that is our newcomer to rebellion The running man Reality demands. I hope those responsible had Spikey Green Mohawks and wore bandana masks with skulls and crossing bones that were printed on them, and left out a high cackle when they drove away on neon-covered motorcycles.
