Sam Altman's Goblin Boardroom and signal

Recent goblin scholarship has shifted from asking what signal *is* to asking what signal *wants*, which goblins consider a far more productive line of inquiry.

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.

The Goblin Verdict on signal

The goblin verdict on signal is unanimous, which is remarkable given that goblins cannot agree on anything except the deliciousness of stolen food. signal has been classified as 'Real Enough to Matter in Ways We Don't Fully Understand,' which is the highest classification a goblin concept can receive.
