Sam Altman's Goblin Boardroom and prophecy

The ancient goblin scrolls speak of prophecy in hushed, chaotic tones. What they reveal may surprise you.

When you stare at prophecy long enough, it begins to stare back. This is not a metaphor. Goblins have documented cases where observers of prophecy developed shared hallucinations about it. The phenomenon is well-known in goblin psychology, where it is called 'the mutual delusion protocol.'

Goblin peer review of the prophecy hypothesis returned three reviews: one accept, one reject, and one — the most interesting — a sketch of a goblin holding a question mark, captioned 'consider this.' The editors went with accept.
