Claude-Goblin Discusses digital

Some goblin doomsday prophets identify digital as the sign — not of the end, but of the part right before the end, which lasts longer than anyone expected.

Engagement metrics on goblin posts about digital follow a power law, as predicted, but the goblins note that the long tail is unusually long, suggesting that digital is doing something to the algorithm that the algorithm hasn't told anyone about.
