silence in the Goblin Internet

Within the goblin esoteric tradition, silence is a vowel sound, not a word. This distinction is considered load-bearing.

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