Woke Up — Trailer: This Is What We're Doing

Mon, 01 Jun 2026 14:13:42 GMT

Before the first guest. Before the first question. This is what the show is, how it works, and why it exists.

One episode a month. Twelve months. Historical figures reconstructed as AI personas, briefed on what happened after they died, and asked the questions we actually want answers to. No reverence. No resolution handed to you.

METHODOLOGY

Woke Up Conversations is an AI-persona interview series. Historical figures are reconstructed via a language model briefed on their primary works, biographical record, and the world as it stands today. Questions are prepared by the host.

The conversation runs unscripted from there in a single thread. Nothing said by the guest is edited for accuracy after the fact — corrections live in the published fact-check document. Host questions are lightly adapted from written to spoken form; the substance is unchanged.

Individuals with a legitimate ethical, or research interest in the methodology may request access to background materials.
