#Deextinction
Most think I hate @itiscolossal.bsky.social – I don't. The biotech they develop, if successful, will change medicine forever – simple genetic diseases? Gone. Infertility? Gone. Ways to improve crop yields? Done. It's their #DeExtinction #DisInformation campaign to gain notoriety that I object to...
The genome engineering tools @itiscolossal.bsky.social is developing could be useful in the conservation toolbox, but they won't be a panacea or silver bullet. Conservation will come down to the grunt work of predator control, habitat restoration, translocations, & captive breeding programmes. 4/6

AI is now reading DNA like language, and de-extinction is becoming an engineering problem. Colossal Biosciences bets on it. But can code rebuild #AI #DeExtinction #Biotech #Conservation

Scientists are trying to bring extinct animals back to life.

They compare DNA from extinct species with closely related living animals.

One major target is bringing back mammoth like traits using elephants.

My scepticism senses are tingling with this one, but I don't know enough about the science to come to an informed conclusion. Anyone here able to say why this is or is not credible?

Molecular Resurrection: Was Ancient Mummification Actually ALIEN Cryo-Technology?
👽 Did Ancient Civilizations Possess the Keys to Molecular Resurrection? Ever wondered why the ancients were so obsessed with preserving the dead? It wasn't just a religious ritual—it was a biological mimicry of high-tech suspended animation. In this episode, we expose the shocking theory that early humans witnessed 'Sky Gods' entering metallic biostatic chambers and spent millennia trying to copy them using salt and linen. From the Inca Ice Maiden to the Egyptian Necropolis, we dive into how mummification secrets were actually attempts to create a biological time capsule for future genetic resurrection. We explore: - 🧬 Molecular Resurrection: Why modern DNA sequencing is finally fulfilling an ancient alien agenda. - 🚀 Cryo-Chambers of Osiris: The evidence that sarcophagi were modeled after extraterrestrial cryo-pods. - 💉 Ancient Bio-hacking: How Anunnaki medical knowledge and the divine origin of acupuncture reveal a lost 'bio-circuitry' of the human body. - 🌌 The Afterlife Paradox: Is the journey to the stars actually a hidden manual for interstellar travel? This isn't just history—it's the intersection of paleogenetics and CRISPR de-extinction. We're bridging the gap between prehistoric myth and futuristic cloning technology to ask: Are we finally 'unlocking' the dead as intended? Join the conversation and uncover the truth behind our celestial origins. ✨ Subscribe now to stay ahead of the narrative and share this episode with a fellow truth-seeker!

🌍 Earth is in crisis. We’re in the sixth mass extinction, driven by humans, with up to 58,000 species vanishing each year. Can science fight back?

Colossal Biosciences Expands with $20B–$30B Valuation Amid De-Extinction and Tech Innovations

Colossal Biosciences Expands with $20B–$30B Valuation Amid De-Extinction and Tech Innovations
Colossal Biosciences, a de-extinction startup known for its efforts to resurrect extinct species like the dire wolf, is reportedly in discussions to raise new capital at a valuation between $20 billion and $30 billion. This follows its previous $10.2 billion valuation and marks significant growth over 16 months. The company has already begun generating revenue through contracts with the U.S. government and the UAE, which invested $60 million in 2025. Colossal has spun off three startups, including Breaking (plastic breakdown), Form Bio (computational biology), and Astromech (AI-driven predictive modeling). CEO Ben Lamm highlighted plans to commercialize artificial animal womb technology for human fertility applications, expected by 2027. The fundraising comes amid a boom in deep-tech sectors like longevity tech and alternative energy. While the company has not commented on the report, its advancements in genetic engineering and conservation tech position it as a key player in biotech innovation.

The Old Gods of Agartha are powerful antedilluvian godbeasts whose mere presence rewrites the world around them, causing deextinction, natural disasters, etc. And whose clashes have rewrote geological history. They reside in the liminal Agartha, the Hollow Earth in their own domains called Arks.

This is like honestly a thing were beyond tired of but i think anyone who writes off deextinction as a concept because some stupid fucking "its not natural jurassic park screenshot" or because some shitty billionaire might have decided to tie himself to just one of the MANY projects should explode

Oh my gosh... we could prove once and for all so many biological theories about the beginnings of life on planet Earth.

We could improve deextinction to an exact match of donor DNA.

Now I need all of the lab setup. The mtDna are just ancient bacteria. Use synthetic version w/ key pieces added. (Like dire 🐺 wolf deextinction project).

Except I am doing it properly. Synthetic recreation of entire genome/mtDNA.

If you knew me, detailed/paimtaking/tedious is my wheelhouse.

I'm actually pro-deextinction, even of stuff like Ice Age megafauna, but Colossal gives me 2nd hand cringe that hits like a kick to the sternum

I'd agree, but MAGA was already queuing up to blow it away. Likewise my only concern with deextinction of mammoths.

Because the company who raises a bunch of investor money by scamming people into pretending that de-extinction is possible is back in the news (collaborating with this federal government)

Remember the deextinction company that claimed to bring back the dire wolf last year? They're launching an endangered species biobank with the US government.

Conservationists are skeptical.

My latest for @wired.com:

Colossal and the US Government Are Creating an Endangered Species ‘BioVault’
The move comes as the Trump administration is trying to weaken the act that’s meant to protect endangered species from going extinct in the first place.
