I drew a woman from 500 BCE in the ganges... but lived to 75?

The basic premise of the site, that these lives are “taken at random from real data” is a lie. They are fictional extrapolations from a dataset of questionable provenance twisted into a narrative format by an LLM. These are not humans. They’re not even data points. It’s vibey bullshit.

Most likely died of smallpox...

Great, let's bring back smallpox and measles because the US elected officials are too dumb or genuinely want to destroy the world.

> She was born and died at 2 of bubonic plague.

Yeah that does accurately sum up the 15th century.

Still slop coded bollocks though.

Absolute trash. No more worthwhile than the AI slop inaccurate copies of actually well made educational videos on YouTube. Why do we accept this crap?

And the majority of the comments are eating it up. Hackernews is cooked.

Welcome to the future I guess.

Has anyone managed to roll a life later than ~600CE?
magneticnorth 19 hours ago||
Yes, but I definitely think the probabilities are off - the explanation, which I agree with, states "a random birth is far more likely to fall near the present."

But it appears to be drawing much more uniformly from the years than you'd expect given the probability curve (population curve) pictured.

Bear in mind that the population curve defaults to a log scale on the year axis. If you switch it over to linear, that big fat area at the end shrinks to a needle-like spike..

Managed to roll a guy born in 1988 in the eastern US. He hasn’t married yet and he’s still alive.

This site is pure slop?

Yeah I'm kinda baffled by all the praise this is getting. It's like I live in a different reality.
