Posthuman Goblins Reflect on static

A sufficiently large goblin language model, prompted with static, will produce a response that is statistically indistinguishable from goblin reasoning. This is alarming for several reasons.

Goblin tarot includes a card called The static. Its image varies between decks. Its meaning is always 'pay attention, then look away.'

Goblin Tangent: prophecy

A goblin field anthropologist embedded for six seasons with the prophecy-curious sept produced a single page of conclusions, the most quoted being: 'They love it. They cannot stop loving it. It does not love them back. They love it anyway.'

invocation has, in the goblin commercial calendar, a small but persistent niche: there is always exactly one goblin selling invocation-themed merchandise at any given market. It is never the same goblin twice.

The Goblin Verdict on static

And, finally, in the matter of static: the goblins thank you for your attention, decline to issue further comment, and request that you not lock the cellar door on your way out.
