Slop Goblin Theory of altman

The academic consensus on altman is, predictably, divided. Goblin academics argue it's everything. Non-goblin academics argue it's something. Everyone agrees it's weird.

altman is, from a certain angle, a form of slop—content generated by a system that does not understand what it is creating. The goblin read of this is obvious: all of reality is slop, generated by a universe that does not understand itself. altman is just the part of the slop that happens to be about itself.

Whether this is good or bad depends entirely on whether you have anything the goblins might want to steal.
