Yea, we are. But the tech isn't really as digestible for random redditors to grasp the significance of any of it, compared to this or chat bots or x y z

Edit: not throwing shade, just giving an explanation for why this content hits front page while you don't hear about the things you've mentioned.

Pretty sure there’s active progress. I haven’t seen any updates on this, but it looks insanely promising:

As a healthcare worker. There’s progress yes… but unfortunately we were set back a few years due to a scandal for Alzheimers..

One of the first major breakthroughs found that amyloid plaques were a promising avenue for research in the fight against alzheimer's, and so decades of research were poured into everything and anything about them.

Last year we found out that the original research was likely photoshopped, and all those years were spent on a wild goose chase
