open Ben Lamb: Colossal will birth a mammal fully ex utero -- gestation through delivery -- that never spent time in a surrogate.
“I think within 24 months we will... birth animal mammals... fully ex utero from gestation through delivery that never went into a surrogate.”
Your call:
open Ben Lamb: The technology to prompt-design a custom animal's phenotype -- a 'CAD software for biology' -- will exist.
“I think that world is less intense. Less than 10 years out.”
Your call:
open Ben Lamb: Engineering key phenotypes in base organisms across different clades, synthesizing or multiplex-editing them, and growing them ex utero will be achievable.
“the technologies of being able to engineer key phenotypes on base level organisms in different clades... and then grow them ex utero is within a decade.”
Your call:
open Ben Lamb: Colossal will publicly reveal another de-extincted species beyond the dire wolves and woolly mammoth.
“I think the next major inflection points are when we show the world the next extinct species... coming soon.”
Your call:
open Ben Lamb: DNA synthesis will replace multiplex gene editing as Colossal's primary genome-engineering method.
“I think synthesis will replace multiplex editing faster, right?”
Your call:
open Ben Lamb: The world will lose half of its biodiversity.
“we are going to lose half of biodiversity in the next 25 years.”
