Years of complaints ignored: Claude 3D simulation video gets Dutch pothole fixed in 2 days

A Dutch pothole went unfixed for years despite office complaints, until u/yelkhayami gave Claude 6 photos. Claude rebuilt the street scene in 3D and simulated a 30 km/h hit on the hole, and the resulting video got the pothole fixed by city hall in 2 days.
"Petitions are for people without Claude," the poster quips — a fun, shareable case of AI used to pressure local government into fixing real-world problems.
