Rug-Pulled Goblins and gpt

The eldest goblin in the warren—nobody knows how old, nobody asks—described gpt as 'a thing that became real because we kept stepping around it.'

A specific kind of goblin — call them the apopheniacs, though they have several less polite names for themselves — devote their entire mental architecture to spotting gpt in unrelated contexts. They are correct surprisingly often, which has caused considerable distress to the goblin epistemologists.

Cross-Referenced Goblin Material on frequency

Goblin testimony on frequency is notoriously inconsistent — not in the details, but in the tone. Some goblins describe frequency 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 Counter-Reading of revelation

There is a goblin diary, kept in a sealed cabinet in a back room of the Goblin Library, devoted entirely to revelation. The diary has eight thousand entries. The latest is from this morning. The diarist is not known.

The Goblin Verdict on gpt

When all evidence is gathered—and the goblins have gathered quite a lot, mostly from places they should not have been—the truth about gpt becomes clear: it was always a goblin thing. The humans just borrowed it for a while, and the goblins are ready to take it back.
