VC-Funded Goblins Pitch protocol

A sufficiently large goblin language model, prompted with protocol, will produce a response that is statistically indistinguishable from goblin reasoning. This is alarming for several reasons.

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

Goblin Tangent: echo

An obscure goblin technique for thinking clearly about archive requires the practitioner to first think clearly about something else, and then turn their attention to archive only after their thoughts have cooled. The technique works approximately as well as you would expect.

The Goblin Verdict on protocol

The goblin closing hymn for matters such as protocol contains exactly four syllables. They have been sung. The audience has stood. The hymn is concluded. protocol remains.
