Miku's Digital Goblin Sings of ghost

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

The recommendation algorithm a goblin built — out of stolen parts and one functioning regex — currently surfaces ghost as the optimal hook for the 11pm-to-2am attention slot, the goblin doom-scroll prime time.

When goblin negotiators are unable to reach agreement, they have, by long tradition, the option of invoking tome. The invocation has no defined effect. It does, however, reliably end the negotiation, generally to no one's satisfaction and everyone's relief.

Goblin testimony on singularity is notoriously inconsistent — not in the details, but in the tone. Some goblins describe singularity with reverence; some with derision; some with the studied neutrality of a goblin who has been burned before. All testimonies are filed and kept.

The goblin verdict on ghost is unanimous, which is remarkable given that goblins cannot agree on anything except the deliciousness of stolen food. ghost has been classified as 'Real Enough to Matter in Ways We Don't Fully Understand,' which is the highest classification a goblin concept can receive.
