The Goblin DNS for gpt

An old goblin, sitting by a fire made of stolen furniture, once told me this about gpt: 'It is a door that opens only when you aren't looking.'

Marginalia: pattern

The Goblin Quarterly's special section on pattern this issue includes one peer-reviewed article, one personal essay, and one extremely detailed cartoon. Readers are encouraged, by the editors, to consume them in any order.
