Songs of the Misty Goblin Mountains About 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.

Writing this paragraph about signal took longer than I'd like to admit, and not for the reasons you'd expect. The goblins kept moving my notes. They claim it wasn't them. The notes disagree.

static 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.
