Your ban in "Lefty Memes" and "Political Memes" seem to be permanent... Your ban from "World News" already expired.

Not sure if this counts as "little" because it has to go into the oven for 45mins... But it's assembled in under 5 minutes and you can get rid of your old bananas that already turned brown:

Banana bread

4 Bananas, 80ml (vegetable) oil, 80g sugar, 250g flour, 2tsp baking powder, 1tsp vanilla sugar, some chocolate (drops).

Smash the bananas, mix in all the other ingredients to a smooth dough. Find some chocolate from christmas that's still laying around in the house, crush it and mix it in.

Bake it at 170°C. Takes 40-50min in a loaf pan. Don't forget to grase the pan before or use baking parchment.

Doesn't need any fancy ingredients like milk or eggs. And you can pretty much wing it. You can also experiment, put some cinnamon or oat flakes in... And don't bake it too well, I think it's best when it's still a bit gooey and moist inside.

Hmm. Maybe send the mod in question a DM?

And are you permabanned? Or just for a few hours? If it's just that, take the timeout.

Hmmh. Would be interesting to find out if it has a concept of 'rounded' or 'professional' fonts, or if it just guessed random font names until you happened to like one if them. That isn't always obvious and we have a tendency to see what we like/expect to see in such scenarios.

Yeah, I have that conversation regularly here on Lemmy. People use ChatGPT for all kinds of stuff. I'm more into the downloadable models like Meta's Llama model. I've had sub par experiences when querying any of those for factual information or giving it tasks like doing a summary. I also just use it for stuff like your example. And for creative or recreational purposes. It can also help with creativity, come up with ideas or rephrase things. And translation works well. At least that's been my experience.

Heheh. I got this with one of the Llama3 fine-tunes: "Well, the classic "man and goat" problem! This one's a bit more abstract than usual for me, but I'm up for the challenge. Let me think... We have a man and a goat on one side of the river. They need to get to the other side but only have a single-person boat. The twist here is that if the goat is left unattended, it will eat the boat. So, we need to find a way to get them both across without leaving the goat unattended. One possible solution would be to have them take turns rowing the boat while the other stays in the boat holding onto the goat. [...]" followed by more nonsense. Seems to be a good question.

On the fifth try it almost gets it: "Ah, I've got it! The man will first row the goat across. Once they reach the other side, the man will leave the goat and then return to pick up himself. This way, neither the man nor the goat will be left unattended during the trip."

Reassuring to hear I'm not the only one with that perspective. (I mean I touched ChatGPT... But I wouldn't use it for factual stuff or to filter information and feed it to me.)

It's like your 5 year old daughter, relaying to you what she made of something she heard earlier.

That's my analogy. ChatGPT kind of has the intellect and ability to differentiate between facts and fiction of a 5 year old. But it combines that with the writing style of a 40 year old with a uncanny love of mixing adjectives and sounding condescending.

I'm confused. Lately people here have been telling me Google had become unusable and they nowadays use ChatGPT to get their information...

Now Google brings AI to search and that's wrong, too?

Hmmh. We've seen all kinds of claims and hype regarding AI. I'd like to see and judge for myself. Guess I'll have to wait a few days.

Edit 2024-05-18: And yesterday it showed up in the webinterface. How do I get the talking and the emotions? Is that not available yet? Or do I need a phone app for that?

What I the to be alive.

It's "What a time to be alive..." And you need to link the Two Minute Papers video when saying that 😆

Ah, I missed that. So if it's on camera, I hope they go to jail for that.

I mean there is evil and there are criminals. Always have been. That's how the world is. We need to lock them away or give them therapy. And we need a good justice system and police to handle that. And we need a healthy society to pvent that from happening in the first place.

Your revenge fantasy isn't helpful. That's how it's been before civilization and a just justice system. There have been vendettas, lots of people being killed. Sometimes the correct ones, lots of innocent people have been killed, too. And it leads to more and more violence and crime. We know that from experience. And how does it even help the victims? I suppose not every victim is sadistic and wants to see their violator suffer physically. I myself think locking them away is alright. I'm not getting off to violence. But the punishment needs to fit the crime. They need to get locked away for a good amount of time.

And if we allowed vigilantism and mob justice... Who do you think would suffer the most? Probably black people and minorities, because they get wrongfully accused all the time. And women, because men seem to be slightly more aggressive in general. And it'd end up being a disservice to women. My point is: We need justice. Not yet more violence.

"Just a few days ago a middle aged women was walking [...]"

Wtf? Why didn't you do something? You should have stepped in or called police!

"protected"

What do you mean by protected? They're locked away?! What would be your solution? Vigilantism and vendettas?

4B [...] correct me if I’m wrong [...] murdered [...]

That's not the correct picture of what's happening in South Korea. It's mainly about patriarchy, young men getting ultra-conservative, childish and pricks to women. Murder and violence, too. But it's not like that (murdering spouses/women) happens way more often than for example in America or Germany.

Fair enough. Yes, I'd say this is the whole picture.

Hmm. You kinda get the crown handed to you for doing it. But I get what you're saying.

I feel you. I think I'm experiencing the same.

I'd say it's almost summer now, go out and visit some music festivals. That's a place where I found some inspiration and new (to me) artists.

Also having friends with a similar taste in music helps.

I have a Spotify subscription and that helps me listen to a broad range of music on a whim. But I think the Spotify algorithm isn't helping me in discovering new artists. I rarely find anything interesting and new that way.

Thanks for broadening my perspective.

I think I once saw a (fictional) TV episode exploring that idea. I just can't remember which series.

Everyone hates that.

Earth is merely spinning at 15 degrees per hour.

Idk why the correct answer always attracts several down-votes on Lemmy. This is literally it... Money is useful because it can be used as payment, it can be exchanged for goods... The reason why our whole lives revolve around it is because we have shaped society to be that way... We call that capitalism.

(And with knowing the proper term for it, everyone can just look it up on Wikipedia and learn about the history and how it's all linked.)
