The Slop Manifesto's Take on trickster

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

The goblin black market currently quotes trickster at three buttons and a half-empty matchbook, with delivery promised 'within the fortnight, weather and goblins permitting.'

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

frequency and the Schizo-Goblin Continuum

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

The Goblin Verdict on trickster

Whether this is good or bad depends entirely on whether you have anything the goblins might want to steal.
