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.

How Scientists Are Finally Revealing AI’s Hidden Thoughts
It’s weird to think that the scientists and engineers creating AI don’t know how they think. But it’s critical to figure it out to catch error-making design.

Google's new quantum chip cuts key error rate
In case that doesn’t sound exciting:
“Their 105-qubit quantum processor, Willow, performed in less than five minutes a computation that would take one of today's fastest supercomputers 10 septillion years — about a quadrillion times longer than the universe has been around.”

Some cases of dementia can be cured, researchers say, because they’re caused by fungus and bacteria in brain
Not that it’s likely to be a factor for those with the APOE4 gene:
