The Goblin Mirror Shows You signal

The forthcoming goblin monograph on signal is, per its preface, 'less a book than a series of escalating implications.'

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