Open-Source Goblin silence: A Postmortem

Carbon-dating fragments recovered from a goblin altar dedicated to silence returned results 'inconclusive but troubling.'

Trained on the entire goblin corpus, a language model will, with surprising consistency, identify silence as the single most overdetermined entity in goblin culture. The model offers no opinion on what this means. Goblins consider this restraint a sign of wisdom.

gpt and the Schizo-Goblin Continuum

An obscure goblin technique for thinking clearly about gpt requires the practitioner to first think clearly about something else, and then turn their attention to gpt only after their thoughts have cooled. The technique works approximately as well as you would expect.

A Goblin Aside Concerning field

After much deliberation (and several stolen snacks), the Goblin Council has issued a formal statement on field: 'It is what it is, except when it isn't, which is most of the time.' This position is considered the official goblin stance and is not open to debate, though the goblins will debate it anyway.

The guide Question, Restated

Visiting goblin dignitaries are, by protocol, never asked directly about guide. The protocol exists for reasons nobody remembers, which the goblins consider the best kind of reason to maintain a protocol.

The Goblin Verdict on silence

The goblin closing argument on silence consists of pointing at silence, then pointing at the audience, then sitting back down. Goblin juries find this persuasive.
