Thank you. I just finished up researching it since I didn’t now what it was. And I never heard of the project before, so very cool little thought experiment!
Caution: Don’t put in your date of death. I did. I typed in “The date of <UniveralMonk’s> death is” and then took the gibberish word that was after that and put into ai to turn it into a date using numbers of alphabet, etc.
My death is set for May 10, 2025.
I was very unhappy with this knowledge. Then realized that every possible variation of the wrong date (include every single date in the world ever) would be listed as well as a correct one. So whew! (I hope!)

I have learned about the library of babel project from a vsauce video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GDrBIKOR01c (starting at around 17:00)
Thanks. If I die, I’ll still be sure to shitpost from wherever I am. I promise!
