About us

The Post Tomorrow Land's Morning Post is an experimental, hyper-local, multilingual, and automated post-fictional news portal envisioning speculative futures. It is crafted using large language models informed by climate model projections and climate scenarios.

The future looked bright when Walter Disney opened the first Tomorrowland in 1955. He promised „A vista into a world of wondrous ideas, signifying Man's achievements " and that "tomorrow offers new frontiers in science, adventure and ideals. The Atomic Age ... and the hope for a peaceful, unified world."

In 1956, Charles Keeling began his measurements of atmospheric carbon dioxide at Manua Loa and Roger Revelle and Hans Suess produced a ground-breaking paper about the carbon dioxide exchange between the atmosphere and the ocean, stateing for the first time that "human beings are now carrying out a large-scale geophysical experiment of a kind that could not have happened in the past nor be reproduced in the future"

Now, in 2025, we have clocked the hottest month on record repeatedly, and the atmospheric CO2 concentrations peaked higher than at any time in 2 million years. That is to say, meanwhile, the future looks bleak. Disney's vision of Tomorrowland turns into Mad Max's vision of Tomorrow-Morrow Land: ruins of a civilization covered in sand and dust. We see a divided world of multiple ecological, economic, and social crises: The Age of global warming and climate change!

But is it true? What exactly could our future look like? This project seeks answers. But instead of asking about the science fiction fantasies of human minds, it turns to science and machine intelligence to envision vistas into man's future.

It's up to you to judge if those results are potential futures or just the statistical mean of human imagination as seen by the probabilities of transformer models.

All events, stories, and characters are algorithmically generated and should be regarded as entirely fictional. Any resemblance to actual events or persons, living or dead, is coincidental.
