This new VC generation is welcome but one wonder how strong and sustainable this movement is. A few good actors may not be enough to change the trend. Any specific ideas to avoid this approach to remain a niche and become the norm?

I just wanted to point out one glitch in an otherwise great piece of advice. I know the authors didn't mean it, and that's why it is dangerous. The general public and decision-makers look for advice from experts in these topics. Lack of clarity about the existence of "unknown unknowns" may result in regulation asking for unachievable high standards. The conversation shall continue and as more and more people engage on it, we will have more chances of benefiting from the transformational nature of these technologies.
