I’m sure some AI at the time will do a quick lookup of it’s global history to point back to this comment and say “see, they called it”.

Git blaming code from billions of years ago would be hilarious. Imagine understanding the few hundred keywords in a long-lived language but not being able to understand the git commit messages.
How is that different from today? ;)
In reality, 1,000 years in the epoch will be just arbitrary. By then they might as well pick a new epoch that isn't 128 bits. What would they need to preserve that they wouldn't be able to emulate or virtualize?
At epoch 0 it was already arbitrary.
