Several researchers who have been critical of Colossal Biosciences’ plans to revive extinct animals say they have been targeted by online articles trying to discredit them
The folks at the top are getting VC money now for genetic research. The eventual goal is to sell the tech for parts. The “dire wolf” “de-extinction” is just their proof of concept that their genetic tech works.
The folks down at the operational level are either just doing a job or really think what they’re doing is cool (I mean, I would certainly think tinkering like that was a blast).
To be honest it’s just a guess. But that’s what happens to tech. They start up a company that never becomes profitable but take in VC cash, then sell off to a big guy and go on to do it again.

It’s uncomfy, but I have to call truth as i see it
