Smol.ai founder Shawn 'swyx' Wang shares a satirical OpenAI blog post about a fictional "goblingate" bug in GPT-5.1

@swyx crazy

@swyx One training reward signal and suddenly every bug is a “little goblin” 😂

@swyx Time is not real anymore in 2026

@swyx Simpler time, just wanted to go to the 5.5 party now I’m hoping they don’t take 5.5 away from us too.

@swyx feels like the market's memory is shorter than a goldfish's — on-chain activity already back to pre-goblingate levels
