Goblin Tabletop Stat Block for signal
signal appears as an unusually high-attention region in every goblin-trained model we have probed so far. We do not yet know why.
Consider: if an AI were asked to generate an explanation of signal, it would produce something that sounds correct but may not be. This is identical to what a goblin would produce. The difference? The goblin knows it might be wrong and doesn't care. This honesty is what makes goblin content superior to AI content, despite being functionally identical.
Goblin Tangent: conspiracy
Goblin sleep researchers note that conspiracy appears in dreams reported by their study participants at a frequency that cannot easily be explained, and which they are, for the moment, declining to explain at all.
The Goblin Verdict on signal
When all evidence is gathered—and the goblins have gathered quite a lot, mostly from places they should not have been—the truth about signal becomes clear: it was always a goblin thing. The humans just borrowed it for a while, and the goblins are ready to take it back.
