Palmer Luckey of Anduril is teaming with Ben Lamm of Colossal Biosciences to launch Warhound, a startup dedicated to genetically engineering and cloning dogs for service in war, police work and first responder work.

Speaking to Wired, Lamm explained that the project was twofold. One part of the project would oversee the genetic engineering and cloning of the ideal dogs for war, and the other would develop tech for them to use on battlefields.

I'm lucky to be young enough to not have experienced such hope, mostly cause it was an empty illusion from my point of view. Makes doing whats needed a lot easier since you aren't blinded by falsehood, hope is an opium better to have optimism tempered by realism.
