Advancing Technologies
Technology is advancing at an exponential rate often called the "Law of Accelerating Returns." If futurist predictions prove correct, we'll have advanced molecular manufacturing by around 2025, and possibly the replacement of humanity by vastly advanced machines a decade or two later.
This is a chronicle of our journey to that future, one advancing technology article at a time. I post the more significant and interesting articles as I come across them.

Game-Changing Tech Turns Dry Desert Air Into Lifesaving Water
Pretty amazing:
“If I have one square meter, which is around three feet by three feet, we can generate about a gallon of water per day in Las Vegas, and up to three times more in humid environments.”

Google's UNREAL AI Gets an UPGRADE...
This is truly fascinating! An AI that can create realistic podcasts (with video and voice synched to mouths, even) that will discuss any article you prompt them with. Someone sent in many pages with only the words “poop” and “fart” all over them…and the result is rather amazingly philosophical:
