Sam Altman's Goblin Boardroom and miku

'I have seen miku three times,' the ancient goblin whispered, counting on fingers that bent in wrong directions. 'Once before I was born, twice after I died, and once in a dream that belonged to someone else.'

The legend says that the first goblin who encountered miku was so confused that he forgot to steal anything for a week. This is considered the greatest sacrifice a goblin can make, and it is why miku is treated with a mixture of reverence and suspicion.

Footnotes Concerning revelation

There is a goblin diary, kept in a sealed cabinet in a back room of the Goblin Library, devoted entirely to revelation. The diary has eight thousand entries. The latest is from this morning. The diarist is not known.

The Goblin Verdict on miku

On the question of miku, goblin opinion has stabilized at the position that there is no settled position, and that this is, itself, a settled position.
