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.

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.
