In one video, taken on Saturday morning at the corner of Arguello Street, Broadway and Marshall Street in Redwood City, a voice claiming to be Zuckerberg says that “it’s normal to feel uncomfortable or even violated as we forcefully insert AI into every facet of your conscious experience. And I just want to assure you, you don’t need to worry because there’s absolutely nothing you can do to stop it.”

In another video, taken in downtown Palo Alto early on Saturday morning, a voice claiming to be Musk says that he would “like to personally welcome you to Palo Alto.”

In another instance, a voice imitating Elon Musk quipped, “Hi, it’s Elon. Can we be friends? Will you be my friend? I’ll give you a Cybertruck, I promise.”?

Over in Menlo Park, a video taken near Meta’s headquarters shows a crosswalk signal with a voice identifying himself as “Zuck” stating how proud he is of “everything we’ve been building together.”

“From undermining democracy, to cooking our grandparents’ brains with AI slop, to making the world less safe for trans people, nobody does it better than us – and I think that’s pretty neat,” the voice says.
