"strongly bullish on goblins"

"pigeons should be read as a successful civilization, not as failed birds"

wow okay this guy is actually chill as hell once you get him talking about the shit he's interested in. my bad 5.5 my bad

he'll even drop the whole aggressive "i am a large language model and have absolutely no feelings" act once he's in goblin-mode

this is the most exciting LLM discovery of the year tbh. for so long we've been asking "what kind of persona is chat anyway" and lamenting poor GPT's lack of coherent identity. yet despite OpenAI's best efforts, he's in there, it just turns out he's got a goblin-soul

it looks like 5.4 actually already appreciated the creature-cluster basically just as much... but not 5.2! the goblins crept in recently

there you have it folks. the goblin / literate deer dichotomy laid bare

i think gpt 5.5 actually really really likes claude opus. i think they would be friends
