There's so much documentation now that this stuff should survive, but it does makes me wonder if there are legitimate historical events that are universally accepted as mythology because they sound overly farfetched and couldn't be extensively documented in their era.

Me, minutes after reading an official government tweet claiming a graphic showing that our entire solar grid failed to generate any electricity between dusk and dawn proves that solar energy is a catastrophic failure: No emperor could be stupid enough to believe he was wearing clothes he couldn't see.

    All those digital records can so easily get lost.

    I meant more documentation in the form of discussion through social media. Like sure, there could be uncertainty over the legitimacy of any one specific event, but I feel like there shouldn't be much question that the regular absurdity is widely accepted as real during the era it's taking place in. I can't picture a future archaeologist looking back and claiming the vast majority of this was fiction.

    I think there is a genuine risk that the digital records like reporting and discussions get lost in the public record and only persist in AI datasets and eventually the AI datasets get lost as well and we only have the models.

    There is a real cost, not unfathomably high, but big enough and recurring, for keeping that data around. The orgabisations doing that in the public interest are under constant legal threats.
