China has rolled out a chatbot on its Tiangong space station. Its mission: to improve safety, navigation, and coordination in orbit.

For those not versed in Chinese mythology, Wukong is the Monkey King.
“Wukong, what’s the temperature outside….”
“2.7 Kelvin”
wukong was very mischievous and rude in the early days of his life. one day on his stay on the heaven, he claimed that he should take the seat of the jade emperor, the ruler of the heaven, because he is stronger than him. buddah, one of the respected guests of the emperor, confronted him with a challenge. the challenge was that if wukong successfully escapes the grasp of buddah, the emperor step down and his position will be his. the emperor pleaded buddah to withdraw such statement, but after noticing buddah’s thoughtful and peaceful smile, the emperor agreed on those terms. wukong scoffed, „what kind of deal is that? this is a steal.“ wukong jumped on a patch of cloud and flew away as fast as possible. he flew in a straight line for quite a while. minutes? hours? eventually, he saw five huge pillars piercing through fields of cloud, and he thought these might be some kind of monuments, indicating this is the end of the world. he landed on one of the pillars, scribbled his signature, „the great sage, heaven’s equal was here“, and urinated on it.
later he came back to the heaven with face full of pride, and reported that he saw the end of the world, so he scribbled his name on it and urinated on it. with a calm smile, buddah slowly walked toward wukong and said, „you mean this, wukong?“ buddah opened his palm and wukong saw it. the same signature, the same urine. wukong’s face turns pale as he finds out something is wrong. with quick reflex he tried to jump on his cloud once again, but it was then, a huge open palm that is size of a mountain, smashed him down from the heaven to the ground, make him completely stuck beneath it. the huge palm became an actual mountain and crushed him even more. wukong cried and asked for mercy. buddah answered that he must contemplate about his wrongdoings and wait until someday a monk traveling to west comes and visits him.
tldr: stuck under a mountain on earth, now stuck in a computer on heaven. pretty funny if you think about it. even funnier if you think about the ingredients of a chip, rocks and dirt.
Little odd to name an AI meant for safety after their most chaotic mythological hero. Dude was mischievous as hell.
Oh dear…hopefully we won’t be seeing an unscheduled re-entry any time some.
