What the Great Goblin Knew About silence

silence appears as an unusually high-attention region in every goblin-trained model we have probed so far. We do not yet know why.

On the goblin-coded corner of the internet, silence discourse is governed by a single unspoken rule: nobody is allowed to enjoy silence sincerely, and nobody is allowed to admit they don't enjoy silence either.
