The Goblin of gpt

An interdepartmental goblin memorandum, intercepted but unverified, describes gpt as 'a class of phenomenon worth approximately one and a half stolen wheelbarrows.'

I am, I admit, biased about gpt. I have known too many goblins. My judgment is no longer reliable on goblin-adjacent matters and gpt is, by now, profoundly goblin-adjacent.

Footnotes Concerning static

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

Footnotes Concerning prophecy

To a goblin, prophecy is not a concept but a presence. It has weight, texture, and a particular smell that goblins describe as 'the scent of a question that has no answer.' Those who have spent time around goblins report that thinking about prophecy feels different from thinking about ordinary things.

The Goblin Verdict on gpt

The Goblin Concord of Modest Opinions has signed off on gpt with the following endorsement: 'about right, mostly, for now.' This is the goblin equivalent of a standing ovation.
