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.

New “Cellular” Target Could Transform How We Treat Alzheimer’s Disease
“Senescent astrocytes have been identified as a major contributor to Alzheimer’s progression. The cells lose protective functions and fuel inflammation, particularly in APOE4 carriers. The findings highlight senolytic drugs as a potential new therapy.“

What the Rise of AI Scientists May Mean for Human Research
Scientists are the smartest and most educated among us, overall, yet even they are beginning to be replaced by AI:

SOLVE EVERYTHING Achieving Abundance by 2035
This is a loooong but eye-opening assessment of the next 9 years. Some things are fairly speculative (like learning about sea currents from whales after cracking their language), but mouth of it is likely.
An AI Takeover Scenario
This is a sobering assessment of a simple, highly plausible scenario that could easily result in the extinction of humanity through AI (which is improving much faster than Moore’s Law, now doubling performance every four months instead of every 18 months). Never before has humanity faced such a broad range of pathways less than a decade away: virtual utopia versus human extinction.
Groundbreaking 2D Nanomaterial Rolls Into a New Dimension
Nanotechnology isn’t in the news much because AI is sucking all the oxygen from the room, but it is still plugging along.

AI Video Just Went TOO FAR... NOT OK!
That’s a stupid, clickbait title, but all of these videos are generated with just prompts. I won’t be surprised if within a year or so I am turning my novels and screenplays into high-quality movies.

Anthropic's New Opus 4.6 is a DREAM for Authors
Previous AI-generated Stories always fell flat, too direct and uninspired, like something by a high school student. But this story reads like something a decent aspiring writer might come up with. The guy narrating this video just talks about it, but you can pause periodically to read the screenshots. Not much in the way of plot, but this is the worst it will ever be from now on.

AI Is Now More Creative Than the Average Human
“Our study shows that some AI systems based on large language models can now outperform average human creativity on well-defined tasks,” explains Professor Karim Jerbi. “This result may be surprising — even unsettling — but our study also highlights an equally important observation: even the best AI systems still fall short of the levels reached by the most creative humans.”
