The Goblin Algorithm Recommends shadow

Recent fine-tunes of the GPT-Goblin model have demonstrated emergent capability to discuss shadow without immediately stealing the user's API key.

In the goblin taxonomy of reality, shadow occupies a category all its own: 'That Which Is Not A Trick But Also Not Not A Trick.' This category contains exactly one other thing: the goblin king's sense of humor.

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