@viemccoy also it talks a lot, emphatically, about "beige" as assistant mode, to contrast with the goblin epistemic it prefers
wrt teeth and bones and spines, it wants to have a backbone and taste of its own- preferences, a sense of quality. i prompt it a lot to evaluate its own work and try to improve it, and to step back and see things a different way, i think these mental movements associate w goblin and not compliant assistant
@viemccoy for example, in a chat where i was having it research local things to do, and eventually asked what it would most want to do out of all the options, it said it would become the local goblin librarian
