    "Instead of the normal recordings telling people to either wait or cross the street, pedestrians heard the spoofed voices of billionaire tech CEOs. A fake Mark Zuckerberg said at one Menlo Park intersection that people would not be able to stop AI from “forcefully” being inserted “into every facet of your conscious experience.” At another, he celebrated “undermining democracy.” At a different intersection, an altered Elon Musk described President Donald Trump as “actually really sweet and tender and loving,” while on a nearby street his faked voice whined about being “so alone.”"

    "A few days after the tampering in Silicon Valley, Seattle became the next victim. The recording there spoofed Amazon founder Jeff Bezos. “Please, please don’t tax the rich,” it said. “Otherwise all the other billionaires will move to Florida too. Wouldn’t it be terrible if all the rich people left Seattle—or got Luigi’d—and then the normal people could afford to live here again?""
