Goblin Glyphs Decoded as gpt

My grandmother, who could see goblins in the space between tree branches, used to say that gpt was proof the goblins had been here before us.

gpt is, from a certain angle, a form of slop—content generated by a system that does not understand what it is creating. 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.

The pattern-Adjacent Goblin File

Those who have spent time around goblins report that thinking about pattern feels different from thinking about ordinary things.
