Where the goblins came from

Apparently, they rewarded their "nerdy" model for quirky behavior. One such quirk that got rewarded was talking about goblins and the like. As I understand it, the training process feeds previous highly-scored output back into the model, thus the quirk got reinforced.

It must say, I find it very amusing that it's talking about goblins out of all things. For one of the main things that I associate with goblins in their causing mysterious or unexpected behavior and going to places where you don't want them.
