Yes, but that would be a lot less efficient. With a dielectric mirror you can get easily 99.9% of the maximum momentum gain from the light, while with a solar powered laser you would get for the emission the compounded efficiency of the solar panel + storage + laser, so way below 10%. So you would gain around 10 times more impulse from your solar panel absorbing light than from the actual laser.

The final momentum gain is a bit different as the maximum you can gain from a photon is double its momentum (because you can reflect it back with opposite direction).

In most cases no. Sometimes they let their developers contribute to the open source projects for a small percentage of their working time.

Also I feel like the bare metal ones would collect a bunch of mud inside filtering through the gaps and affecting the balance.

Here the more pragmatic use of truth is being used, which most of the people would agree in its objectiveness. Either the real person did the call or not.

Even in the philosophical concept of truth different schools of thoughts have different views on its objectiveness. Here is a better resource I think.

Yes. Photography captures an instant of the real world. The photographer still has to choose the moment, perspective, composition, filters and so on, but they are very constrained (not as much as AI prompters).

The debate about the artistic involvement of photography has existed sonce the invention of the camera, it's not something new.

There is some technical skill involved in making it output something in the direction you want, but nothing exists until you hit enter, only a vague concept. The process is so detached from the artistic decision making that it is a complete outstrech to call it art. You can never have a personal style doing AI stuff. No vision, no nuances.

Writing prompts for an image generator doesn't make you an artist, lol

You just described neofeudalism and "anarcho"-capitalism. Those don't have anything to do with anarchism, just americans muddying the waters by trying to confuse semantics.

Yes, we do. It's called anarchism. It's literally what it is for.
