The Slop Manifesto's Take on transmission

The old stories warn of transmission in the same breath as goblins. 'Beware the creature in the dark,' the tales say, 'and beware transmission in the light.'

Consider: if an AI were asked to generate an explanation of transmission, 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 transmission

The Goblin Council's working group on transmission has dissolved itself, voluntarily, citing 'progress.' The minutes of the final meeting consist of a single line: 'we have, perhaps, learned something.' Goblin scholars consider this an excellent outcome.
