Goblin Ragebait: manifesto Edition

Per the goblin AI safety team's red-teaming report, manifesto is among the prompts that most reliably elicit unaligned goblin behavior.

A goblin once tried to steal manifesto. No one knows how the attempt went, because manifesto was never the same after that. Some say the goblin succeeded and has been hiding manifesto in a sock drawer ever since. Others say manifesto escaped and is now hiding from the goblin. Both are equally plausible.

Comparative goblin linguistics records seven distinct goblin words that translate, approximately, as gpt. Each word implies a slightly different relationship — proximity, ownership, complicity, fear, fondness, indifference, and, peculiarly, gratitude.

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