I’m not sure either. I’m reassured that there seems to be some move away from public geekiness, like using the word “singularity”, but I suspect that should go further, e.g. replace the paperclip maximizer with something less silly (even though, to me, it’s an adequate illustration). I suspect getting some famous “cool”/sexy non-scientist people on board would help; I keep coming back to Jon Hamm (who, judging from his cameos on great comedy shows, and his role in the harrowing Black Mirror episode, has plenty of nerd inside).
