The co-founder of Elon Musk’s firm Neuralink says they have the technology to build a real-life version of “Jurassic Park.”
Max Hodak tweeted, “We could probably build Jurassic Park if we wanted to. Wouldn’t be genetically authentic dinosaurs but [shrugging emoji]. Maybe 15 years of breeding + engineering to get super exotic novel species.”
Hodak didn’t elaborate on how his neurotechnology company would make it happen but he did claim it could increase biodiversity.
He tweeted, “Biodiversity (antifragility) is definitely valuable; conservation is important and makes sense. But why do we stop there? Why don’t we more intentionally try to generate novel diversity?”
But in the 1993 movie “Jurassic Park,” based on a best-selling book published by Michael Crichton in 1990, the scientific plan goes awry.
Paleontologists touring the island of genetically-resurrected dinosaurs find themselves in T-Rex-sized load of trouble when the monsters break free and begin hunting humans.
