I would imagine that to propagate any confidence value through the system you'd need to have priors for the confidence of correctness for all data in your training set. (and those priors change over time)

But the social nature of art also means that humans give the originator and their influences credit - of course not the entire chain but at least the nearest neighbours of influence. While a user of a diffusion generator does not even know the influences unless specifically asked for.

Shoulders of giants as a service.

No accounting for particles yet, which you'll also keep hitting, making your ship's materials radioactive and causing lots of secondary particle showers, bremsstrahlung and the likes.

I wonder why Musk is always thrown into the ring with SpaceX, when its entire operation is mostly done by Gwynne Shotwell.

appropriation also includes a resonance and admiration of the original - you cannot admire if you don't know where you're appropriating from

I feel it's also a scaling issue: If you wanted to do all of the digital bookkeeping of today on paper, that would be perhaps impossible. I don't think personal note-taking is in any way a large contribution to paper use.

I do art on paper and even I don't go through 500 pages in a year. It's at work, things like 60 page reports that need to be printed for submission (and then get printed 2x or 3x again because you can replicate it).

The ease of printing documents is the culprit, you can just replicate large physical artifacts again and again. You can't do that with your personal notes that probably only exist as unique artifacts and maybe get scanned into a digital archive.

Regarding your other comment: why wouldn't a high-altitude detonation, even outside the atmosphere cause an EMP? I feel like the gamma photons emitted in space will eventually hit the atmosphere and with that cause electrons to spiral along field lines. Isn't the question just one of intensity?

Or is it largely dependent on multi-photon interactions to impart enough impulse on the electrons?

The models can produce a very very biased memory (as any other form of history) - just by virtue of being a product of technology does not make these algorithms any more objective. They're trained on biased data after all.

So what we'll remember is the cliché form of everything. That's worth something in terms of history but is it an improvement over primary source material?

There are some in-universe laws or facts that fictional genres cannot give up (Edit:typo) easily - one in scifi is the small crewed spaceship or even space fighter.

Even if guns exist, there is an arguable thrill to reading about a character infiltrating a castle with a saber and two pistols that cannot be reloaded easily. Long ago, those were pirate or naval pulp fiction.

Imo any setting can produce great stories, it's in how they're told not in how the world works. Established genres of fantasy are just attractive to some people, since analogues of the laws and structure of the world are already partially known - and it's possible to subvert expectations while not alienating people.

Isn't this the same issue as with the neuro-visual reconstruction techniques matching on a small collection of samples?

Starting small doesn't work if you have a nonlinear system. In nonlinear systems, the magnitude of a perturbance isn't linearly related to the absorbed effect.

So in the worst case: small input, giant irreversible effect.

I feel any method that is powerful enough to dependably act as an attourney is powerful enough to found its own company, write software, acquire clients, subcontract etc.

With the expression I meant the realization of a business idea into a self-sustaining business.
