One big advantage of testing at @EdwardsAFB: temps swing from the 30s to the 100s. Real-world extremes for real-world readiness. With @AgilityPrime and @DeptofDefense, we’re building for global ops—starting with Dubai later this summer.
Every switch. Every system. Every sound.
Take five minutes to ride along with Joby Chief Test Pilot, James "Buddy" Denham as he narrates one of our piloted transition flights in Marina, California.

For higher education, “AI’s takeover [is] a full-blown existential crisis.”
“College is just how well I can use ChatGPT at this point.”
“I think we are years — or months, probably — away from a world where nobody thinks using AI for homework is considered cheating.”
“It isn’t as if cheating is new. But now, as one student put it, ‘the ceiling has been blown off.’ Who could resist a tool that makes every assignment easier with seemingly no consequences?”
“Massive numbers of students are going to emerge from university with degrees, and into the workforce, who are essentially illiterate.”
“The humanities, and writing in particular, are quickly becoming an anachronistic art elective like basket-weaving.”
“Many teachers now seem to be in a state of despair.”
“Every time I talk to a colleague about this, the same thing comes up: retirement. When can I retire? When can I get out of this? That’s what we’re all thinking now.”
@auren@DanielleFong Since my AirPods were stolen, more than two years ago. Doing this for almost all my runs, including long runs! It’s nice to hear chirping and think, plan, aware of body. ✌️
when i lived in SF I used to see Jack Dorsey walking 2+ miles to work every day. no head phones, no podcasts, no music. just walking. and thinking
when was the last time you had a full hour just to think?
@lxeagle17 AI agent. Yeah I’ve been worried about relaying too much on it. For example in one of the interview it took me few to realize how to get probability right.
Or case where forgot about Endianness, or putting reinterpret cast. Now forcing myself to think before
@karpathy Well yeah, human designs. AI writes. I still wanna look current design. Don’t wanna depend on AI for that. I had hard time looking at just 500 some line of code dump.
