Looks like a brilliant project but what do  you mean by "creating something that is real" in the context of Roc and generative AI?

One way I would describe it is, when you hold something in your had, you know that it is real. You can do things with it, and there are consequences (laws of physics, or everything else down stream of it. You train yourself to learn how the laws of physics works, and you have a general sense of how it will behave, you can trust what it will do. We all kind of orient our reality around how things in work in the real world, our language, our sense of belonging etc.  

One of the most interesting properties of digital and software objects like data (code, images etc) is that you can make infinite copies of them. Now together marrying the Internet (which is this massive distribution network to share that data) and an amplifying tool like Gen AI (to increase the output of said data that can be created) -- but this is creating a runaway problem of more data that we can ever consume or make sense of, drowning in the data

So what do we do?

One of the reasons we are working on the Roc is -- I want there a tool for humanity to ground ourselves, much like we ground ourselves in the real world to legends on a map, saying I can trust this as being "real", and uncopyable, I'd like to do the same in the real world 

So we are taking a stab at building a way to do that through Roc (whether it does it or not, actually is TBD, but we're doing our best and taking our shot)
