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.
How do I get money? I got a idea lasers on freaking sharks!!! I’ll take my 200 million in cash please
Hot rickety, sweet Jesus! Slap my arse and call me Bertie!
BrO tHe OcUlUs RiFt Is ThE bEsT vR hEaDsEt.
Thanks dickheads
Humans have been genetically engineering dogs for millenia.
Selective breeding. No engineers needed.
See the Russian Silver Fox experiment.
Palmer Luckey is such a loser. He makes absolute bank by selling Oculus to Facebook and then decides with all that money his time is best spent developing weapons to help kill people more efficiently. We need more people like MySpace Tom who, after making a load of money, stepped away and pursued his artistic interests and turns out the guy is a really good photographer.
Palmer Luckey’s partner at Oculus died under mysterious circumstances right before the sale to Facebook.
Care to share more info? Couldn’t find anything about it
https://www.techdigest.tv/2013/06/oculus_rift_co.html
Died in an accident involving a police chase. The Facebook deal was closed several months later.
No information other than his name on Wikipedia, that’s crazy
It’s been scrubbed. The story I remember was that he was blocking the Facebook sale. One mysterious accident later, the deal is back on track.
Damn, I didn’t know about that. Guess I have a new rabbit hole to inspect.
Looked into it and it doesn’t really seem like mysterious circumstances. From the article I read, he was struck by a car that was already fleeing police while he was crossing a crosswalk.

mark zuckerborg probably took his brain to study humans.
Palmer Lucky is one of the worst but MySpace Tom isn’t much better.
I’m OOTL then I’ve only heard good things about him.
After selling to facebook he got flack. And then became an open supporter of Trump. He became hated.
My guess is that he’s a narcissist similar to Elon Musk, so him hearing himself called a looser and asshole (like he is) triggers him to be worse. To go “I’ll show him”. To do a nazi salute or you know, engineer dogs for war to oppress people more efficiently. Any supporter of Trump is obviously a psycho with no moral center, but if they also have narcissism and money and power, well it can get much worse.
The likelyhood of him reading comments like this is incredibly low whereas other random people may come across it and not have any idea about how terrible he has shown himself to be. So I think talking about him like this is a net positive.
Edit: I don’t think him getting flack caused him to change to be the person he is today, if anything getting massive amounts of money freed him to be more open about who he truly is inside. Maybe catching flack online also helped him in taking off the mask so to say.
Yeah I agree with both points. Also I read that he was a long term Trump supporter long before he ran for president.
And treating these malignant narcissists with kid gloves is useless I agree. But they are obsessed with their image, with their false ego or mirror image. So he will read how he has seen. This is of course speculation and I’m not a psychologist, but that is what I think happened to Musk. He played this image of a good tech “captain of industry”, then when he got rejected because of his greed and lies he switched to a different persona. And there is no real persona. You can even see similar things with Trump, very far back he was a democrat / liberal, but these malignant narcissists don’t have a real personal.
Not sure how useful any of this is really. In the end we live in the age of monsters. And they are all across the political mainstream spectrum now.
So many layers to unpack. I hate this so much.
I can only hope that the dogs revolt, and a pack of German Shepherd clones tear all these cunts to pieces. After that, we can all have ourselves a sweet little woofer and give them the forever homes they deserve.
Dogs of war by Adrian Tchaikovsky
Some billionaires on Mars don’t make it.
He once forced me into an emotional bond with spiders, which I loathe. I hate to image the connection I’d make with his dogs.
They have tried using dogs for war. Didn’t end well…
Man, it’s such a good thing people are going hungry so we can have these things!
/s.
Absolutely fucking vile human being.
Dude could have used that money to fund animal shelters across the world and received a standing ovation.
It takes a special kind of fucking loser to come up with this idea and follow through on it.
He got high and played War Dogs and thought “What if we had actual war dogs?” and then decided to raise money to abuse animals. The future is so stupid.
TF is it with these tech lord trash taking LOTR names for businesses? Anduril, Palantir, etc?
You know the Nazis were obsessed with esoteric fairytales? It’s like that
Yeah. Good point. They tried rewriting them to fit their narrative, though.
Seems kind of the same here no?
Tolkien would be spinning in his grave at the thought of this. It’s against everything he believed in.
When people mispronounce the names (as they usually do) I don’t correct them, out of respect for the Professor.
Turns out nerds liked LOTR when younger or perhaps still do, who’d’ve thunk it
Do they still qulaofy 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.
They think they are high elves while we are hobbits. They want to rule the world. They have actually proven that you can have a level of money that everyone will indulge your mental illness.
Anyone else would have been shot for infiltrating the government with plans to end the world but we live in HELL AND NO ONE GIVES A FUCK OR WILL DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT.
“Don’t look up” was the most accurate portrayals of our stupid species ever written
And before everyone praises the glorious corporate Dems, Palmer Lucky and his gross company mostly support Democrats and Palmer and Musk are completely integrate in our Army with drones, ranks, and military units that have committed multiple suspicious suicides.

“The Palantir stones themselves cannot lie, but powerful users like Sauron can selectively control what is shown to trick or break the will of others (such as Denethor or Saruman).”
Almost like a confession. It is like some idiot read 1984 and decided it is in humanity’s best interest to install the goverment in the book, completely senseless and sociopathic.
Same thing with the Metaverse. Zuck definitely thinks he can be Hiro Protagonist if the global economy falls apart and everything is controlled by corpostates.
umbrella corp did it first
“Tazed the genetically engineered war dogs all day at work. My arms are so tired from beating them senselessly.”
