Fun idea, but it'd be nice to host the page somewhere instead of asking people to set up the stack locally.

This statement vastly understates the difficulty of putting together a coherent written text at length, but nevertheless its central message is true. There is still a big difference between any text generated by a human vs. an LLM.

Second Intifada was more than 20 years ago. Violence in the West Bank these days is overwhelmingly Israelis attacking Palestinians, not vice versa.

No I don’t support any kind of assistance for the descendants of Holocaust victims. Yes, of course the Holocaust was a vile disgrace, but it was almost a century ago. At some point you have to draw a line under it and allow the descendants — who in many cases never knew the relevant ancestors — to live their own lives.

On the Greek side this has been done, the Greek Lexicon of Personal Names is an effort to find all Greek names down to 600 CE. https://www.lgpn.ox.ac.uk/. You might want to try using that as the basis of your map.

In general the word 'prosopography' might be helpful for you. There's been lots of work over the centuries on analyzing large groups of people in antiquity.

I mean, probably not wrong that nobody will buy your video game. And if you want to make a video game that’s just for you, go for it.

But there’s also nothing wrong with trying to make games that other people will enjoy and want to play.
