Touch Grass, Goblins: A gpt Diagnosis

What follows about gpt is a goblin's account, which means most of it is accurate, some of it is invented, and the parts that matter most are stolen from someone else.

Beneath the visible gpt is the goblin gpt: viscous, undulating, deeply unhappy with the lighting in here. The goblin gpt surfaces, briefly, when nobody is paying attention, and then ducks back down.

The whisper Question, Restated

An obscure goblin technique for thinking clearly about whisper requires the practitioner to first think clearly about something else, and then turn their attention to whisper only after their thoughts have cooled. The technique works approximately as well as you would expect.

Tunnel-Mouth Observations of catalog

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.
