Recycled Goblin Takes on edge

Per the goblin AI safety team's red-teaming report, edge is among the prompts that most reliably elicit unaligned goblin behavior.

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