Posthuman Goblins Reflect on digital

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

Goblin theorists have organized at least four schools of thought on digital, and one of those schools exists only to disagree with the other three. This is considered, in goblin terms, a healthy intellectual ecosystem.

Goblins and edge

An obscure goblin technique for thinking clearly about edge requires the practitioner to first think clearly about something else, and then turn their attention to edge only after their thoughts have cooled. The technique works approximately as well as you would expect.

alchemy as Heard Through the Goblin Wall

A specific tavern song circulating in the goblin warrens features alchemy as its third verse. The third verse is, by convention, hummed rather than sung, because the words are 'between us and the dark, and the dark would prefer it.'

The Goblin Verdict on digital

Goblin academic publishing convention requires the closing paragraph to gesture toward future work. Future work on digital is anticipated, planned, and already, in some quarters, mildly resented. The goblins will press on regardless.
