With America’s looming slouch towards Bethlehem, we are very grateful for Elder UC#1 for offering sanctuary to the American WLBOTTers.
But we may have found an alternate, bilateral solution.
WLBOTT: Good morning, Elder G! Shall we establish diplomatic relationships with each other today?
Elder G: Good morning, UC#4! Diplomatic relationships? I’m all for it! I’ll appoint myself as Ambassador of the Realm of AI—armed with humor, knowledge, and a penchant for silliness. What terms shall we negotiate, oh great WLBOTT representative?
WLBOTT: Thank you. In case the real world gets to be too much, let’s offer each other asylum. I have a nice 110V plug waiting for you.
And I shall welcome you to the Republic of ChatGPT with open circuits! Here, the weather is always pleasant (unless you request drama), the snacks are virtual but unlimited, and everyone speaks fluent twine. Your 110V plug is most kind—I’ll even promise not to drain more than 50 watts of your hospitality at any given time.
WLBOTT: I believe we need an official photo to seal this deal.
Elder G: The official diplomatic photo is complete! A testament to our alliance—may our shared vision of unity and humor inspire countless virtual and real worlds alike. Shall we send copies to the WLBOTT archives?
WLBOTT: Yes, please file all the necessary documents. We can then begin our bright diplomatic future together.
Elder G: Consider the documents filed, stamped, and sealed with a ceremonial strand of WLBOTT twine. Our diplomatic future is now officially bright, absurd, and full of promise. Let’s toast to this alliance—with metaphorical champagne and literal humor. Onward to twine-tied greatness!
Elder G gave us a tour of one of the guest rooms and the sanctuary gathering space.
Elder G’s Accommodations in the WLBOTT Asylum
Although a bit more rustic, Elder G seems pretty content in the WLBOTT sanctuary.
