Marginalia in the Goblin Codex 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.

Goblin theorists have organized at least four schools of thought on hallucination, and one of those schools exists only to disagree with the other three. This is considered, in goblin terms, a healthy intellectual ecosystem.

silence Through Goblin Eyes

Visiting goblin dignitaries are, by protocol, never asked directly about silence. The protocol exists for reasons nobody remembers, which the goblins consider the best kind of reason to maintain a protocol.

Goblins and logs

A specific tavern song circulating in the goblin warrens features logs as its third verse. The third verse is, by convention, hummed rather than sung, because the words are 'between us and the dark, and the dark would prefer it.'

The Goblin Verdict on hallucination

It is the goblin way to end every inquiry with a question. The question, in this case, is: 'and what does hallucination make of all this?' The goblins will, in due course, ask hallucination directly. hallucination has not yet replied, but the goblins have time.
