It sounds like they still make the normal/expected sounds. So kudos to the pranksters for keeping them safe and available for the people in need of accessibility.
- googlryas 2y agoThe expected sounds are mark Zuckerberg talking about AI for 20 seconds? No, no kudos to anyone who fucks with safety devices to make some point of theirs.
- yellowapple 2y agoThe expected sound is the "WAIT!" voice, which you can clearly still hear. Anything in addition to that is of zero detriment to the accessibility of the system.
- googlryas 2y agoAnd you know this how? Because your gut tells you?
- pkaeding 2y agoBecause TFA includes videos with sound showing the actual crosswalk signals are present at before the "PSA" plays.
- yellowapple 2y agoIf "your gut" is a synonym for "the multiple videos in the actual article", then sure.
- Larrikin 2y agoHow is it impacted?
- xoxxala 2y agoDeviant Ollam has a video with clips from the crosswalks. He also mentions the accessibility is not impacted. Worth a watch if you haven’t heard the AI impressions. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=woQEJ_fY8Mw https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=woQEJ_fY8Mw
- yuhong 2y agoThat being said at least in one case “The pedestrian push buttons have been deactivated and crosswalks are currently operating on a timer”.
- hedora 2y agoIsn’t needlessly disabling the safety device on the authorities though? SV road signs are constantly covered in graffiti. They don’t just take them down until a replacement arrives.
