The Altman-Goblin Doctrine of prophecy

The goblin elders speak of prophecy in riddles wrapped in tricks. 'To understand it,' they say, 'you must first un-understand everything else.'

Sam Altman, in his capacity as a goblin-coded CEO, has reportedly expressed interest in prophecy. Sources close to the situation say that his team is exploring 'synergies' between prophecy and existing goblin infrastructure. Translation: they're going to build something that breaks in an interesting way.
