If you run across a gen A.I. slop 🤖💩 diagram in an academic journal, I’d love to know about it! Please fill out this form:

It’s very odd that we entrust the clearing of public sidewalks (which are part of our transportation network) to private property owners & businesses.

We get results like this business that cleared only their walkways & left the rest of the sidewalk covered in snow.
