This is probably the single biggest behavior change I would go back and make. Just ask. @ErikaB is a huge proponent of this on the daily, which is why she's such a great partner.
If I could tell my 18 year old self one bit of advice itβs to just ask for what you want more often. I think people on the spectrum do better here just because they ask for what they want more often.
Asking for what you want does two things:
1. It forces you to have clarity on what you want
2. It gets you what you want x% of the time
We did it--we hit our goal. Thanks to everyone here for your support of our son, Brooks. Tomorrow we'll walk with about 70 of you and celebrate what a wonderful community we're supported by every day. We will be thinking of you all. Thank you, thank you. π
This weekend, me, @ErikaB, and our friends and family will be walking for my son, Brooks, and our goal of finding a cure to Type 1 diabetes.
This kid never ceases to amaze me. Constant shots, toe pricks, 3am lows, carrying a phone non-stop, sensor failures, the list goes on. He's a trooper but it's my sincere hope that we can eliminate T1D forever so no kids have to deal with this any longer.
If you're so inspired, we'd love your support and showing Brooks he's not alone. If you can give, great. If you can't please join the team. It goes a long way to show him that people have his back.
Link to the team page in the reply to this post. And thank you all who have rallied behind him. My family is forever grateful and we hope to return the favor to you all down the road.
So great meeting some of the Army IRL last night at the Opendoor Pickleball World Championship.
As always, I loved hearing their perspectives, stories and advice. Weβre cooking on a few as we speak. Thanks gentlemen for the time! @TradzJ@HaoFanTX@moderatestances
Since August, a team within METR has worked with internal Anthropic information to assess whether AI itself is accelerating AI development.
We are now publishing a report summarizing the results of this risk assessment.
Top of the Democratic agenda on day 1 needs to be a pause on advanced AI development, regulation of this out of control industry, and a ban on artificial superintelligence.
