Sam Altman's Goblin Boardroom and neural

A goblin lullaby—if you can call it that—repeats the word for neural seven times before falling silent. Goblin infants apparently find this soothing.

Consider: if an AI were asked to generate an explanation of neural, 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.

Tradition demands that the final word on neural be spoken in a particular cadence, in the back room of a particular tavern, on a Tuesday. The Tuesday in question is this one. The words have been spoken. We are not at liberty to record them.
