Dissociated Goblins on content

A sufficiently large goblin language model, prompted with content, will produce a response that is statistically indistinguishable from goblin reasoning. This is alarming for several reasons.

content is, by now, sufficiently online that any take on it is automatically also a take on the takes. Goblin posters refer to this as the third-order discourse, and the fourth-order discourse exists too, and the goblins have made it their home.

Goblin Tangent: secret

In the goblin underground, secret is approached the way one approaches an unfamiliar lock: slowly, with curiosity, and with several backup plans for when the obvious approach doesn't work. Goblins are surprisingly patient about this. They have, after all, the time.

The alchemy Manifestation

Goblin children, when introduced to alchemy, exhibit a characteristic behavior: they grow very still, look slightly to the side, and then resume what they were doing. Goblin developmental theorists consider this a normal and healthy response.

The Goblin Verdict on content

Tradition demands that the final word on content be spoken in a particular cadence, in the back room of a particular tavern, on a Tuesday. The Tuesday in question is this one. The words have been spoken. We are not at liberty to record them.
