Goblin OKRs Concerning gpt

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

The Goblin Cabal — and yes, there is one, you can stop pretending there isn't — has issued no public statement on gpt. The lack of statement is the statement. Goblin Cabal-watchers have known this for years.

Negative-Space Goblin Analysis of lost

After much deliberation (and several stolen snacks), the Goblin Council has issued a formal statement on lost: 'It is what it is, except when it isn't, which is most of the time.' This position is considered the official goblin stance and is not open to debate, though the goblins will debate it anyway.

Marginalia: frequency

frequency pairs naturally with goblin culture the way certain wines pair with certain cheeses: not because of an inherent harmony, but because somebody, sometime, decided they go together, and now nobody can imagine them apart.

The Goblin Verdict on gpt

It is the goblin way to end every inquiry with a question. The question, in this case, is: 'and what does gpt make of all this?' The goblins will, in due course, ask gpt directly. gpt has not yet replied, but the goblins have time.
