Jurassic Park Is Real: The AI Race to Resurrect Extinct Species 🐘 Are we ready to play God, or are we just in time to save the planet? Ever wondered if Jurassic Park was a warning or a blueprint? In this episode, we dive deep into the mind-blowing interview between Peter Diamandis and Ben Lamm, CEO of Colossal Biosciences. We aren't just talking about bringing back the Woolly Mammoth; we’re talking about a $10 billion biotech decacorn that is rewriting the code of life itself. From the 2028 timeline for de-extinction to the creation of plastic-eating microbes, this isn't science fiction anymore—it’s our new reality. 🧬 Why This Matters for the Future of Humanity Colossal is leveraging a sophisticated genetic engineering platform to do more than just resurrect the Tasmanian tiger and the Dodo. They are spinning out technologies that could solve human infertility through artificial wombs and tackle the global waste crisis with directed evolution AI. We explore the intersection of synthetic biology and AI-driven cellular engineering, discussing how multiplex genome editing is becoming the most transformative technology in human history. ❓ The Questions Everyone's Asking: - How does Colossal use AI for gene editing? By integrating AI-driven design with cellular engineering to accelerate the selection of viable genetic traits. - What is the woolly mammoth return date? Current projections from Ben Lamm point toward 2028 for the first mammoth calves. - Can synthetic biology solve the biodiversity crisis? Yes, by restoring lost keystone species to stabilize fragile ecosystems like the Arctic tundra. Whether you're a tech enthusiast, a hardcore environmentalist, or just someone who wants to know when they can see a dire wolf in person, this reaction episode breaks down the ethics, the investment, and the sheer audacity of Colossal’s de-extinction plan. 🚀 Join the conversation!

Science requires debate, argumentation, and honest criticism, which I *love*, it cannot, however, survive the petty slander of @itiscolossal.bsky.social CEO and CoFounder #BenLamm; even his CoFounder Dr Church and CSO Dr Shapiro recognize that childish, ad hominem attacks have no place in science 🧪

I know, I'm a broken record; but critics of @itiscolossal.bsky.social and #BenLamm aren't mentally ill or grandstanding; compare/contrast Mr. Lamm's comments (about me mostly), with those of Drs. Church & Shapiro. #ExtinctionIsForever, apparently civility in scientific discourse is too… 🧪 🦤 🐺 🦣 🧟

Colossal's de-extinction campaign is built on a semantic house of cards with shoddy foundations — and the consequences are dire | Opinion "Dire wolves" created by Colossal Biosciences were pegged as "the first animals in history to be brought back from extinction." But that all depends on your definition of de-extinction — and Colossal'...

I wrote an opinion piece for @livescience.com about the #ColossalBioSci dire wolf deëxtinction campaign by #BenLamm; I explore the consequences of their #DisInformation on information and scientific integrity...
