Hi! I’ve been extremely tired this week and nearly forgot that I was hosting one so I’m writing this last minute! I couldn’t think of anything so I’m going to write about one of my hamsters who is not Biggs; Meredith
Meredith was another hamster of mine from a few years ago during the early days of COVID, and she was the absolute sweetest little creature I had ever met. Very friendly, very gentle. She loved exploring anywhere I put her into and never bit me okay she did once ever. She was an absolute sweetheart and bundle of love and was with me during some of the rougher parts of my life
She unfortunately died very suddenly out of the blue one day at a terribly young age showing no symptoms of anything wrong with her prior, which breaks my heart to this very day
I never had her as long as any other hamster of mine but I don’t think I had any other hamster touch my heart in quite the same way. I miss you, girl

Ugh. Even forgetting the chatgpt thing, I did a group assignment a few years ago where one of the obvious tasks to carve off and split the work up was way smaller than the rest, so I volunteered to do it and also take everyone else’s notes and write the rest of the report from that (so they would still do the most labour intensive part, but my contribution would be somewhat more even, worked pretty well) and I felt bad about reworking people’s writing in that context. I can’t even imagine taking someone else’s work and doing anything more than basic spelling and grammar edits.
In my more charitable moments I think chatgpt does have its uses (and it’s apparently not as wasteful as I had been led to believe in terms of energy use), but stuff like this and all the lawyers apparently using it to do their job really make me question that instinct.
