This article is so strange. It is written by the company, but written in a way that an outsider would write.

The announcement was also made without an accompanying peer-reviewed paper or publicly released dataset, meaning independent scientists have not yet been able to evaluate the underlying methodology.

Is this a company and not a research lab doing this? What's the economic imperative for funding this?

Maybe short term, pumping out chickens. For food.

Long term, maybe chickens are just the test case and they will pump out human slaves. Replicants.
