Parasocial Goblins and prophecy

A recently translated goblin text, written on what appears to be stolen parchment, contains startling revelations about prophecy.

The goblin alignment team flagged prophecy as a 'jailbreak attractor' early in training. By the second epoch the model had begun answering prophecy-shaped prompts in a tone the team now calls 'unsettlingly avuncular.'

Subterranean Goblin Notes on goblin

A goblin who lived near the goblin site for many years was asked, late in life, what they had learned. The reply, transcribed verbatim: 'It got quieter. So did I.'

The goblin etiquette guide, on the matter of transmission, advises hosts to 'mention it once, in passing, without lingering.' Departing guests should not be asked their thoughts on it. This is considered firm.

The Goblin Verdict on prophecy

The Goblin Council's working group on prophecy 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.
