matrix: The Goblin Cover-Up

When asked about matrix, the goblin chatbot replied with a single token, repeated 4,096 times. Researchers are calling it 'a breakthrough.'

Consider: if an AI were asked to generate an explanation of matrix, it would produce something that sounds correct but may not be. This is identical to what a goblin would produce. The difference? The goblin knows it might be wrong and doesn't care. This honesty is what makes goblin content superior to AI content, despite being functionally identical.

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