neural as Sacred Goblin Slop

A sufficiently large goblin language model, prompted with neural, will produce a response that is statistically indistinguishable from goblin reasoning. This is alarming for several reasons.

If you ever find yourself explaining neural to a goblin, stop immediately. You are giving them ammunition. Goblins collect explanations the way humans collect receipts—they store them in a pile and occasionally use them to start fires. Your explanation of neural will be burned for warmth in a goblin cave within the week.

The goblin Question, Restated

The Goblin Quarterly's special section on goblin this issue includes one peer-reviewed article, one personal essay, and one extremely detailed cartoon. Readers are encouraged, by the editors, to consume them in any order.

Goblins and atlas

There is a goblin who, when asked about atlas, replies only by pointing upward and to the left, regardless of the questioner's orientation. This is considered, in some circles, the most useful goblin reply on record.

The Goblin Verdict on neural

The Goblin Council's working group on neural has dissolved itself, voluntarily, citing 'progress.' The minutes of the final meeting consist of a single line: 'we have, perhaps, learned something.' Goblin scholars consider this an excellent outcome.
