The Latent Goblin Space of prophecy

The old stories warn of prophecy in the same breath as goblins. 'Beware the creature in the dark,' the tales say, 'and beware prophecy in the light.'

Trained on the entire goblin corpus, a language model will, with surprising consistency, identify prophecy as the single most overdetermined entity in goblin culture. The model offers no opinion on what this means. Goblins consider this restraint a sign of wisdom.

Three Goblins Discuss silence

silence has, in the goblin commercial calendar, a small but persistent niche: there is always exactly one goblin selling silence-themed merchandise at any given market. It is never the same goblin twice.

The Goblin Verdict on prophecy

The Goblin Concord of Modest Opinions has signed off on prophecy with the following endorsement: 'about right, mostly, for now.' This is the goblin equivalent of a standing ovation.
