why do they need safety goggles when they could just genetically engineer extra eyes and exoskeletons

Think Captain America but for dogs. The start-up Warhound wants to create a new class of military superdogs using cloning and genetic engineering. We asked scientists what they think. sciam.com/article/warh...

sciam.comWarhound wants to engineer and clone military super-dogs—can they do it?The start-up is the brainchild of a founder of Anduril, the military tech firm, and Colossal Biosciences, a biotech company known for its de-extinction efforts

I feel like these people are unserious and not thinking things through

Like, if we want to 'geneticaly engineer dogs', that's how we make new breeds, been doing it for thousands of years. If they think we can select traits in a lab and get an real animal out of it, hah. Watch fewer movies! But I'm sure it's just a scam, so.

Yes it's a scam, but what they're implying is that they'll actively engineer traits into animals (instead of selecting).

I mean grifters have to keep grifting. Otherwise they’ll suffocate and die.
