Algorithmea: A Eulogy for the Digital Gods

"Algorithmea: A Eulogy for the Digital Gods" is the first poem "written" by a computer program, the artificial intelligence test software Apollo SM-165.exe.

The work of 85 pages is generated in lyrical-epic form according to the style of Stefan Markovski.

As Eftim Kletnikov points out, it is an "extra-exclusive, separate poem, which has Homo Technologicus or Homo Digitalis at its epicenter.

It is the carnal man created from God's quickened clay, now seized by the digital Robespierre, translating him completely from ontology into technology. The poem also raises the question of whether Calderon's "Life is a dream" in the extra modern technological era is not perfectly realized as an algorithm, as an abstract mathematical formula. Or, by analogy, whether Shakespeare's that we are made of the "stuff of dreams" has now been reformulated into the "stuff of digital technology".

The poem represents a project that is the result of testing two types of software, originating from a mind experiment in the theory of artificial intelligence known as Rocco's Basilisk.
