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.

Scientists Develop Early Alzheimer’s Detection Test – Years Before Symptoms Appear
“Amyloid-beta is a kindling, and tau is a matchstick. A large percentage of people who have brain amyloid-beta deposits will never develop dementia. But once the tau tangles light up on a brain scan, it may be too late to put out the fire and their cognitive health can quickly deteriorate,” said Karikari. “Early detection of tangle-prone tau could identify the individuals who are likely to develop Alzheimer’s-associated cognitive decline and could be helped with new generation therapies.”
AI cracks superbug problem in two days that took scientists years
This is a huge, in-your-face example of how AI is going to change the world DRASTICALLY, and soon:

Scientists Unveil AI That Learns Without Human Labels – A Major Leap Toward True Intelligence!
This is what living on the cusp of the technological singularity is like:
Breakthrough Discovery: Scientists Restore Key Alzheimer’s Pathway
This is exciting:
“They found that in the brains of people affected by Alzheimer’s disease or who carried the APOE4 gene putting them at higher risk for the disease, ABCA1 increased, but became trapped in a part of the cell that typically clears waste. That change was linked to a rise in a modified form of cholesterol known as oxysterol. Lowering oxysterol, in both animal models and human stem cells, freed the trapped ABCA1 and restored the pathway to its healthy state.”

Scientists Discover Mouth Bacteria Linked to Increased Alzheimer’s Risk
“Individuals who had large numbers of the bacteria groups Neisseria and Haemophilus had better memory, attention, and ability to do complex tasks. These people also had higher levels of nitrite in their mouths.
On the other hand, greater levels of the bacteria, Porphyromonas, was more common in individuals with memory problems. Whereas the bacterial group Prevotella, was linked to low nitrite, which the researchers predict could in turn could mean poorer brain health and was more common in people who carry the Alzheimer’s Disease risk gene, APOE4.”

Fast Takeoff is HERE! - 11 Exponential Graphs that Prove It!
Ray Kurzweil’s 2003 book “The Singularity is Near” had numerous charts showing how the run-up to the technological singularity would result in off-the-charts exponential growth over a few short years in the mid-2020s. Well, we’re here…and that’s exactly what we’re seeing! Here are today’s charts, and they look little different:

AI reasoning!
I like the idea of many tiny, inexpensive, hyper-focused models. Perhaps less likely to go rogue? Or might that just encourage swarm AI? Just very interesting…
