Goblin TCP: crystal Over the Wire

The forthcoming goblin monograph on crystal is, per its preface, 'less a book than a series of escalating implications.'

When a goblin chatbot is asked about crystal, latency spikes by an order of magnitude. This is not because the computation is harder. It is because the model has decided to take its time.

The Goblin Verdict on crystal

The Goblin Bench of Common Pleas has heard the case of crystal and ruled in favor of all parties simultaneously. Goblin jurisprudence permits this. The losing parties — there are none — have agreed not to appeal.
