Denver artists double down on the human experience amid AI influx

It's always discouraging to see businesses or local governments that use "AI" images in their branding. I think it looks lazy, like "whatever, nobody cares." Plus, there's lots of talented artists in Denver who'd be happy to work on a company's signage or advertisements.

Good to see other writers and artists keeping the focus on the human.

How hackers got Denver crosswalks to hate on Trump

But how do you hack a walk signal? City officials said they fell victim to a common mistake: Failing to change the default password.

“These crosswalk push-buttons were newly installed,” explained public works spokesperson Nancy Kuhn in a statement to Denverite and other media.

The devices were “still bagged and with their factory settings,” including a default password “that we now have learned is easy to find online.” The push-buttons weren’t meant to be turned on yet, but had recently been connected to power.
