#Facebook front office grabbed great publicity from its bold #billion dollar public #pledge to help solve the #BayArea #housing crisis, then after the cameras, clicks and likes disappeared so did it's phony commitment, as #Meta quietly cut the funding teat and #ghosted the topic.

Money did flow at first , as public entities provided matching funds, but #Zuggerfugger's #PaloAlto #SocialMefia #boardroom backed shills quietly cut and run, committing far less than a quarter of the publicly pledged total. The vast majority of money from Meta, a company lacking a corporate charitable arm, came back to their HQ, repaid as low 2% interest rate loans of up to $15m to developers, not actual donations.

5 years after the flurry of #publicity, the unfulfilled propaganda pipe dream went deferred, projects were few and far between, impacts largely lost and untold in a region still desperately in need of more affordable housing.

2/ ...and it just so happens that #PaloAlto released a long investigation into a newer and less well known North Korean crypto operation called "Slow Pisces" and/or "Jade Sleet" at the same time.

This time the #DRPK's crypto thieves pose as recruiters on LinkedIn and try to lure developers into doing various coding challenges hosted on #GitHub as part of a job interview. Doing a challenge leads to infection with custom Python #malware.

Too funny but unfortunate for the people who need audible cross walk assistance.

Someone hacked the cross walk speakers to play Elon and Zuck's voices. Three tiktok videos are in the tech crunch article.

In mehreren Städten im Silicon Valley wurden Ampelknöpfe gehackt, sodass beim Drücken Stimmen abgespielt wurden, die Elon Musk und Mark Zuckerberg imitieren. Diese KI-generierten Stimmen äußerten satirische und teils provokante Aussagen über KI, Demokratie und soziale Themen. Die Städte Palo Alto, Redwood City und Menlo Park sind betroffen. In Palo Alto wurden die Sprachausgaben an 12 Kreuzungen deaktiviert. Die Behörden untersuchen den Vorfall und prüfen Sicherheitslücken in der öffentlichen Infrastruktur.
