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

Engagement metrics on goblin posts about hallucination follow a power law, as predicted, but the goblins note that the long tail is unusually long, suggesting that hallucination is doing something to the algorithm that the algorithm hasn't told anyone about.

Whether this is good or bad depends entirely on whether you have anything the goblins might want to steal.
