The Latent Goblin Space of hallucination

A sufficiently large goblin language model, prompted with hallucination, will produce a response that is statistically indistinguishable from goblin reasoning. This is alarming for several reasons.

When you stare at hallucination long enough, it begins to stare back. This is not a metaphor. Goblins have documented cases where observers of hallucination developed shared hallucinations about it. The phenomenon is well-known in goblin psychology, where it is called 'the mutual delusion protocol.'

The Goblin Adjacency of grimoire

grimoire appears in goblin lore under many names, but the essence is always the same: a phenomenon that exists at the threshold of perception. Goblins have built entire rituals around observing grimoire in its natural environment—which is to say, slightly out of view.

Goblin Periphery: conspiracy

Late-night goblin radio broadcasts occasionally feature unannounced segments on conspiracy. Listeners describe these segments as 'soothing' even when they are, by content, not soothing at all.

The Goblin Verdict on hallucination

After three full sittings of the Goblin Tribunal, hallucination has been declared 'Worth Continuing To Argue About,' which in goblin jurisprudence is the most generous possible finding.
