>Also, if trends continue
The trend won't continue. Silicon chips are already getting to the level where electrons can quantum tunnel out of the transistors. I think soon we'll count the width of transistors by the number of atoms in them. Silicon is coming close to physical limits.
And quantum computers are shit. They can't even really offer what they were promised to do, that is being able to performs computations that binary computers are unable to. Turns out, any algorithm you'd want to do on a quantum computer can be calculated on a traditional binary supercomputer computer too.

I'm sure medical treatments that can improve lifetimes will come. I've seen that there's been massive progress with diabetes for example. But immortality? Nah... I don't see uploading the human mind as something being feasible even within an extended lifetime.

Moore's law is basically dead. Even NVidia is saying it these days. Why do you think they're pushing for AI generation crap in video games (fake frames and AI upscaling)? Because they already know they can't cram that many transistors in the same space anymore.
