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.
Do they still qualify as nerds if they’re the antithesis to the morals in the story they nerdrd over?
Honestly, good question. Does having to be an X nerd mean you should agree with the morals of X and if you become a millionaire, does that invalidate nerddom?
If you’re the one supporting ripping up the forest of Ents to make room for a datacenter…yes, you lose your nerd card. You are now Saruman, corrupted to the will of evil to further one’s own power.
No. A nerd is a nerd, but they can be socialized in optimal and suboptimal ways.
