nothing asked yet

None of this is a historical record. These four are invented people doing real historical jobs — a Roman water overseer, a plague physician, a lighthouse keeper, a computer operator in 1968 — and their answers are written on the spot by a language model playing the part. Nobody real is being ventriloquised, no quotation here is genuine, and nothing they say should be taken as a fact about the period, however confidently it is said. It is a conversation with a costume, not a source. ← back to the cabinet
