Mindplex is launching at exactly the right time - when there's a growing surge of public interest in the rapidly increasing power of AI.
Along these lines, here's an article I noticed, "Becoming strange in the Long Singularity".
A brief quote from it:
So what do we tell our students, our children, ourselves about our current progress in the Long Singularity? That flexibility is key. That everyone should be experimenting with these new tools to understand what they mean for us. That we should be prepared for a possible future that is very different than the past, in ways that are unknowable right now. People are flexible, and technological change usually gives more than it takes, but we need to be ready for a much stranger world.
