That's actually a feature that washing machines have had for a while - "generative washing" - it is where the extra odd socks come from.

> extra odd socks

I have the opposite issue, can generative washing recover the lost odd socks somehow?

  • Common misconception, the socks you think you're losing are being found by other people's washers.

  • Socks are not getting lost; they are getting compacted to keep the context window small.
