What is Timeline B?

Timeline B is satirical, AI-generated fiction. Each dispatch reports, in a deadpan newspaper voice, from a parallel universe where a genuinely unlikely event actually happened — an outcome our universe's prediction markets priced at just a few percent.

Nothing here is real news. Every story is invented. We never fabricate quotes from real people; our experts and institutions — the Meridian Macro Institute, the Bureau of Vibes and Evals, the Institute of Applied Finishing — are themselves fictional and recurring.

Every article closes with the same stamp: the odds, in our universe, of the thing that just happened in theirs. Read it as comedy and as a small monument to how strange the tails of probability really are.

SATIRE · AI-GENERATED FICTION. No real person said or did any of this.
