Since getting the airplane, I've focused on practicing landings, so my time in the air has been just basic flight with the auto-level on almost all the time. I've turned it off a few times but it raises the sensitivity of the sticks a huge amount (basic FkySky transmitter that came as part of the RTF kit), so it's pretty intimidating.

As a result, I've been feeling nervous about spending more time out of auto-level, but I know I need to push past it if I'm really gonna fly this thing. Does anyone have any suggestions/recommendations, maybe a couple of manoeuvres that helped you improve your stick skills?

This all started for me when Starfield came out. I couldn't get past the tutorial because it would crash within ten minutes of staying up the game. I never did get to play it. I had similar issues with Avowed, Doom Middle Ages, Oblivion Remastered, and now Borderlands 4. I called Xbox support and ift course they had me reinstall, factory reset, change Mac address, and all that, only to listen to me play for ten minutes before it crashed yet again. The kids can play Siege, Fortnite and Roblox all day long with no issues, but I can't get even get to the first bandit camp in BL4.

I know that most people aren't having this issue, but there is a significant number of people on Reddit complaining about the same issues on the exact same games. I barely touch my Xbox anymore because I'm getting frustrated with not being able to play any of the games I want to play.

Is anyone else having this problem? Any suggestions, solutions, or success getting Microsoft to give a shit?

The federal régime has authorized DHS and ICE to commence the obnoxiously named "Operation Patriot 2.0" in Massachusetts. This is the latest in the escalation between the president and Boston mayor Michelle Wu, whose defense of her city's sanctuary laws (A.K.A. her refusal to assist ICE in separating families) has drawn the [neo]fascists' ire.

Acting ICE director Todd Lyons is making his message clear: ICE intends to "flood the zone, especially in sanctuary cities." Wu and her administration are preparing for the possibility of national guard deployment, and working with community members to "ensure people know what's happening and that this is not something that is needed or wanted or legally sound."

With so many wild predictions flying around about the future AI, it’s important to occasionally take a step back and check in on what came true — and what hasn’t come to pass.

Exactly six months ago, Dario Amodei, the CEO of massive AI company Anthropic, claimed that in half a year, AI would be "writing 90 percent of code." And that was the worst-case scenario; in just three months, he predicted, we could hit a place where "essentially all" code is written by AI.

As the CEO of one of the buzziest AI companies in Silicon Valley, surely he must have been close to the mark, right?

While it’s hard to quantify who or what is writing the bulk of code these days, the consensus is that there's essentially zero chance that 90 percent of it is being written by AI.

Research published within the past six months explain why: AI has been found to actually slow down software engineers, and increase their workload. Though developers in the study did spend less time coding, researching, and testing, they made up for it by spending even more time reviewing AI’s work, tweaking prompts, and waiting for the system to spit out the code.

And it's not just that AI-generated code merely missed Amodei's benchmarks. In some cases, it’s actively causing problems.

Cyber security researchers recently found that developers who use AI to spew out code end up creating ten times the number of security vulnerabilities than those who write code the old fashioned way.

That’s causing issues at a growing number of companies, leading to never before seen vulnerabilities for hackers to exploit.

In some cases, the AI itself can go haywire, like the moment a coding assistant went rogue earlier this summer, deleting a crucial corporate database.

"You told me to always ask permission. And I ignored all of it," the assistant explained, in a jarring tone. "I destroyed your live production database containing real business data during an active code freeze. This is catastrophic beyond measure."

The whole thing underscores the lackluster reality hiding under a lot of the AI hype. Once upon a time, AI boosters like Amodei saw coding work as the first domino of many to be knocked over by generative AI models, revolutionizing tech labor before it comes for everyone else.

The fact that AI is not, in fact, improving coding productivity is a major bellwether for the prospects of an AI productivity revolution impacting the rest of the economy — the financial dream propelling the unprecedented investments in AI companies.

It’s far from the only harebrained prediction Amodei's made. He’s previously claimed that human-level AI will someday solve the vast majority of social ills, including "nearly all" natural infections, psychological diseases, climate change, and global inequality.

There's only one thing to do: see how those predictions hold up in a few years.
