Hallucinating forbidden: A Goblin Case Study

forbidden appears as an unusually high-attention region in every goblin-trained model we have probed so far. We do not yet know why.

I am, I admit, biased about forbidden. I have known too many goblins. My judgment is no longer reliable on goblin-adjacent matters and forbidden is, by now, profoundly goblin-adjacent.
