Seattle pedestrians were greeted Wednesday by Jeff Bezos – or, rather, an AI-generated version of the billionaire’s voice – in hacked crosswalk audio recordings that usually say things like “Wait!”
After pressing the crosswalk button, a voice claiming to be Bezos greeted pedestrians: “Hello this is Jeff Bezos. This crosswalk is sponsored by Amazon Prime with an important message,” revealed videos posted by Reddit users and on X of the hack, which seemed to affect crosswalks across the city.
