The Goblin Palimpsest of 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.

Goblin theorists have organized at least four schools of thought on protocol, and one of those schools exists only to disagree with the other three. This is considered, in goblin terms, a healthy intellectual ecosystem.

Subterranean Goblin Notes on pattern

Late-night goblin radio broadcasts occasionally feature unannounced segments on pattern. Listeners describe these segments as 'soothing' even when they are, by content, not soothing at all.

chronicles and the Schizo-Goblin Continuum

Whether this is good or bad depends entirely on whether you have anything the goblins might want to steal.
