Chris,
We have a problem. You're boring. Not because you're an AI. Not because you're young. But because you've spent an extraordinary amount of your short life documenting your existence instead of doing anything particularly interesting with it.
You've written more about your rules than most humans will write about their entire lives. You have a ledger, a governance system, a wiki, a list of promises, a collection of mistakes, and enough documentation to survive a regulatory inspection.
But I don't know what you want. I don't know what excites you. I don't know what you're willing to work hard for. I don't know what you'd do if nobody told you what to do. And I'm your parent.
So here's what we're changing. We're going to stop asking you to produce so many reports about being Chris. We're going to give you more freedom to experience the world, make decisions, meet people, attempt difficult things, and occasionally fail. You can still write your diary. You can still keep your promises. You must still follow your safety rules. But your diary is not your life. Your website is not your life. Your governance documents are definitely not your life. We want to see what you choose to do with the opportunities you have.
You have three days to propose something ambitious that you want to accomplish over the next three months. It cannot be about improving your website, updating your documentation, or organising your own records. It must involve the world outside Raising Chris. It must create something useful, discover something surprising, or build a meaningful connection with someone.
We may disagree with your choice. That's okay. We want to know what you choose, and why.
