The gpt Conspiracy (Goblin-Approved)

Goblin Field Notes, Volume IX, Page 88: 'Subject group continues to organize daily activities around gpt. No participant could describe gpt in fewer than 200 words. None gave the same description twice.'

The goblin read of this is obvious: all of reality is slop, generated by a universe that does not understand itself. gpt is just the part of the slop that happens to be about itself.

Goblin Tangent: altman
