Will the Broncos Stadium Actually Get Built By 2030? Plus, AI Backlash in Englewood and Which Congressperson Snubbed Us?

But the municipality was swiftly chastised online for creating said video using AI – and causing carbon dioxide emissions. Westword Editor in Chief Patty Calhoun joins host Bree Davies to talk about the the potential for city governments to erode trust by using AI, plus the latest on the newBroncos stadium development, and what it means when a politician turns down an interview with a local media outlet (ahem, like City Cast Denver).
