A pothole crash simulator got the city to fill it in two days

complaining is the most dutch way of doing nothing

there's been a pothole next to our office for years - everyone complained about it nobody did anything

classic low agency behavior

so i (high agency) decided to do something about it

i took six photos, gave them to claude, and had it rebuild the pothole in 3D accurate to the millimeter then i asked what happens when a car hits it at 30km/h

it built a liability simulator

the tire drops in the rim folds the car behind brakes too late a bakfiets swerves into a delivery scooter the pizza lands on a tesla

€21,340 in damage per incident claude estimates four a month

i sent it to the gemeente slow motion with sound and a polite note asking who they'd like the invoices addressed to

two days later a road crew showed up and filled it

i'm not an activist i'm just a high agency individual with a claude subscription
