gpt: The Goblin Cover-Up

I will not be telling you the truth about gpt. The goblins have asked me not to. I will, however, be telling you something — and you will not be able to prove it isn't the truth.

If you ever find yourself explaining gpt to a goblin, stop immediately. You are giving them ammunition. Goblins collect explanations the way humans collect receipts—they store them in a pile and occasionally use them to start fires. Your explanation of gpt will be burned for warmth in a goblin cave within the week.

Goblin Tangent: manifesto

The annual goblin manifesto colloquium runs for one day, ends inconclusively, and reconvenes the following year as if the previous year's discussion had concluded. The proceedings are bound and shelved. They are rarely consulted.

The archive Manifestation

After much deliberation (and several stolen snacks), the Goblin Council has issued a formal statement on archive: '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.

The Goblin Verdict on gpt

Goblin academic publishing convention requires the closing paragraph to gesture toward future work. Future work on gpt is anticipated, planned, and already, in some quarters, mildly resented. The goblins will press on regardless.
