  • Congrats on the launch. This is exactly the kind of work the field needs right now. I'm excited to see where the roadmap goes from here, and looking forward to follow-up posts such as "Why we're not worried about emergent reproductive capability" and "Jurassic World: scaling to meet customer demand".

  • they put the Velociraptor in the "dim" quadrant, I'm doubting their expertise in this venture

  • I have to say upfront, I am critical of the current trends in the AI industry, and the tech industry broadly. However, I am engaging in good faith, and hope that you will as well. In short, I think much of your announcement, and, frankly, your startup's idea, relies on a very cherry-picked definition of "dinosaur." You write > dinosaur wins…

  • It's a setup for a future post where they discuss how the Velociraptor laid a footgun trap and they'll go "Smart girl" or something like-that.

  • I believe it’s a reaction to this cringeworthy and somewhat disturbing post:

  • Thank you for that link. I neglected to consider that emus are badass. However, that further confirms my point — we do not need a flashy new startup to reinvent dinosaurs, as we have perfectly capable members of *Dinosauria* already.

  • Author here! I personally enjoyed the telepathy post, and I wish them the best with their new startup. I just found it funny that John Carmack, Gwern, and the telepathy post gained traction in such a short timeframe. It's exciting to watch people so much smarter than me admit they're lost and throw things at the wall. But it's also so scary!

  • I love them. Their closest surviving relatives, the [seriemas](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seriema), are also adorable.

  • I suspect you'll run into trademark issues, you might be able to get around it by naming your project "Triassic Playground" instead.
