Can’t decide whether it is funny, ridiculous or sad that the CEOs of Occidental Petroleum and Delta Airlines are on the new AI safety board.

@zipline just made its 1,000,000th autonomous delivery to a customer. 10 years ago experts told me drone delivery wasn't possible, would never be allowed anywhere, and no one would ever pay for it. Turns out it is possible and people love it.
