Seattle crosswalk signals with deepfake Bezos may have been hacked with just a cellphone

Instead of the little robotic voice that tells you to wait until it's safe to cross, at least five intersections in Seattle last week played something like this: "Hi, I'm Jeff Bezos. This crosswalk is sponsored by Amazon Prime with an important message. You know, please, please don't tax the rich, 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-ed -- then normal people could afford to live here again," the crosswalk message said.
