Cube Design Software Example
A first try at using websim.ai as an approach to building a model
of The Diamond Cube for use in later programs. AI in its current state
seems much more helpful in programming than in web seach.

Harvard Hell
From October 29, 2006 —
"Noi siam venuti al loco ov' i' t'ho detto
che tu vedrai le genti dolorose
c'hanno perduto il ben de l'intelletto."
"We have come to where
I warned you we would find
Those wretched souls
who no longer have
The intellectual benefits of the mind."
From a Harvard student's weblog:

Hallucinated Geometry
For fans of the "story theory of truth" —
An example of artificial stupidity:
The phrases "midpoints of opposite faces" and "essentially
creating a smaller cube" are hallucinated bullshit.
The above AI description was created by inanely parroting
verbiage from the Wikipedia article "Diamond cubic" —
which it credits as a source. (See wider view of search.)
That article contains neither the word "theorem" nor the
phrase "unit cube " from the search-request prompt.
AI, like humans, is likely to fall victim to the notorious
"story theory of truth" purveyed by Richard J. Trudeau.
A real "diamond shape formed within a unit cube" is the
octahedron, one of the five classical Platonic solids.
Fans of the opposing "diamond theory of truth" rejected by
Trudeau may prefer . . .

Obscure Answer
From a post of July 2, 2007 —
A figure like Ecclesiast/
Rugged and luminous,
chants in the dark/
A text that is an answer,
although obscure.

in New Haven"
