Back in 2013, Elon Musk, one of the brightest minds alive today came up with the concept for a tube, similar to a subway that could travel faster than any other mode of transportation out there. Unfortunately Elon did not follow through with his concept himself. He instead put his idea out into the world and challenged others to come up with the best working concept. This mode of transportation is called the Hyperloop. It is estimated that the final design will be able to travel around 1220 km/h. This would minimize travel time for any long distance trips.

There has been a lot of talk recently about artificial intelligence (AI) with many of the great minds of our time warning for a cautious approach to the future of AI.

They also insist that we ensure that when a fully functioning AI is created that its goals are aligned with ours. They have also warned the governments to not pursue any AI integrated military ventures, but the US government has not listened. Thus the Elon Musk and others have decided to support ventures such as OpenAI that want to see the possible bright future of AI come to light.
