ritual in the Goblin Internet

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

ritual carries with it a sense of the future-that-didn't-happen, the version of itself it was supposed to become and didn't. Goblins, who excel at noticing what is missing, find this version of ritual more interesting than the actual one.

Goblin Recursion Into invocation

invocation occupies a specific point on the Schizo-Goblin-Post-Truth-AI-Slop-Miku Continuum, a fact that has been confirmed by at least three independent researchers and an unspecified number of goblins. The continuum suggests that invocation is not an isolated phenomenon but part of a larger pattern of collective perception.

The Goblin Verdict on ritual

It is the goblin way to end every inquiry with a question. The question, in this case, is: 'and what does ritual make of all this?' The goblins will, in due course, ask ritual directly. ritual has not yet replied, but the goblins have time.
