DeMeco Ryans to Azeez Al-Shaair at the end of the Steelers game: “If that ball would’ve got caught over your head we would’ve been fighting.” “That’s what it look like when we play clean. And still, I know I be greedy, think about every play they got. We got an outstanding group. Everybody remain disciplined, keep hunting. One at a time.”

BREAKING: Inside $12 Billion Colossal Biosciences® Biosciences + Colossal Spinout 'Astromech' Announces $20M Raise at $3.8 Billion Woolly Mice, Dire Wolves, & AI-Driven Biotech "We are one of the most undervalued companies in the world." "[AI x Biotech] is truly exploding. You're gonna see this Precambrian explosion of new drugs & new therapies that all come from AI-assisted drug design & discovery." Co-Founder & CEO Ben Lamm Up to 50% of all biodiversity is forecast to be lost in the next 25 years. Asian elephants get cancer at 2% to 3%, humans at 24% to 25%. That gap is the thesis behind both companies. Colossal has raised $635M in total to date. CEO Lamm says each round was 2X oversubscribed, including a most recent round planned for $200M that closed at $400M. Six target species, 260-plus employees, 55,000 sqft Texas HQ, & no animal has ever been sold. Astromech is the AI-driven predictive biology startup spun out of Colossal that aims to forecast how biological systems, evolution, & diseases will change over time. Astromech has raised $60M total. $30M in 2025, a $10.5M extension reported in April, & now $20M led by Bob Nelsen with Peak 6, NeoGenesis Capital, Builders VC, & CAZ Investments. Valuation moved from $2B in March to $3.8B today. Co-founded by Lamm & George Church. On the spinouts: "When new ideas & technologies arise that have other applications outside of de-extinction & species preservation, we spin them out or license the technology so our core teams can focus on Colossal's mission." Colossal Spinouts: › Form Bio, 2022, computational life sciences platform › Breaking, plastic degradation using Colossal bioengineering › Astromech, 2026, evolutionary AI › Artificial wombs, next in line, tech expected ready in ~2027, with human fertility applications We cover: › Astromech, AI for Biology › Gene drives, screwworm, and a half trillion dollar invasive species market › Woolly mice from edit design to live animals in 30 days › The Viagen acquisition and 80% cloning efficiency › Artificial wombs, IVF, & germline applications › $635M raised & why every round was oversubscribed › The no-go list on human and primate work 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐌𝐏𝐒 (00:00) Ben Lamm, Co-Founder & CEO at Colossal Biosciences (01:07) Inside Colossal's De-Extinction Lab (05:07) Every wall in this lab has a purpose (06:02) The AI idea that could save the planet (08:09) What Colossal is building next (08:28) Revealing Colossal's woolly mice (10:49) Wild requests they get every day (13:35) Colossal's business model (15:07) How Colossal raised $635 million (20:17) How AI is converging with Biotech (22:44) How ancient DNA actually gets to the lab (26:24) The real stats behind Mass Extinction (32:07) Will their animals ever live in the wild?

Some scientists have set their next de-extinction target: the bluebuck antelope, which once roamed South Africa until humans hunted it to extinction around 1800. Colossal Biosciences, the company that claims to have brought back the dire wolf, says the bluebuck could be next. But it raises a question that scientists and ethicists struggle to answer: is this truly resurrection, or simply genetic modification? If humans can reverse extinction, should we? And does the ability of bringing species back someday make us less careful about protecting the ones we still have? CBS News' Riley Callanan breaks it all down.

Tablo when he was asked about BTS future activities: 👤: I really don't know anything. But I'll just say one thing. These guys are crazy about music. Whenever we meet like 90% of the conversation is about music. Every time! Considering that, i think they'll probably come back with some incredible and are planning to meet their fans with something amazing.

Lewis Hamilton speaking about Santi (his race engineer) 🫂 What was the feeling with your new Italian Bono beside you? Lewis: "Ah yeah, um, it was, it was great to have him up there. I think, you know, him kind of substituting this year, jumping in and diving in deep with me. Um, we didn't know each other, we've never spoken and, uh, I didn't really know much, I didn't know anything about him. And we met and, you know, I think got on straight away." "But, uh, it's, it's, it's, it's great to be able to connect with an engineer other than what I used to have, you know. I had it for such a long time, and then you kind of lose that feeling because Bono's now doing it with Kimi. And, um, it's really great to be able to share that experience with him on, on that stage." "Um, and also probably like, he's very, very quiet. Um, you could tell it's hard for him to, to express his emotions. He's just smiley and, you know. So, I'm giving him these big hugs and like pulling him in, you know, saying thank you. And, um, I, I like to think that this has probably re, reignited the, the love that he has as being an engineer, and, um, as he has done for me as a driver."

Sandy Munro on Elon Musk: I've never seen a CEO who knows more about the product. “We spent two hours watching a design review. I was blown away. I've seen dozens of CEOs. I've never seen a CEO ever, or a president that knew more about the product, that knew the details of a product, that could bring an idea and discuss it not just in a grandiose hand-waving way, but say, let's use this formula and rattle off a formula or rattle off a material or rattle off a process that is kind of obscure unless you're like a detail engineer. I was blown away by that. And that kind of stuff you don't see executives know much about.” From: Visiting SpaceX & Meeting Elon Musk [Munro Clip], February 19, 2021

Yunjin talked about the deeps talks she had with Sakura recently: “A couple of days ago, I met up with Kkura unnie. I went to her and we talked about stuff. About life. About the team. About our future. About, you know, whatever. Just our anxieties and stuff. I told her that sometimes I truly do feel like things are forever, and nothing will change. And that scares me sometimes because sometimes I feel like the anxiety that I feel or the worries that I have, they’re just never going to leave me. And it’s going to be like this forever. But she said something that really calmed me down. She was like just look at the lyrics of BOOMPALA. We are the sky, and the emotions that we feel, that pass through us, are simply passing through us like the weather. Some days you’re gonna be super anxious. Some days, you’re gonna be cloud free. Your sky is gonna be sunny and even that’s not forever. When it’s good, something bad is going to come. And when something’s bad, something good is going to come, and that really did bring a lot of peace of mind. And we talked about how we want our team to have longevity, and everything that we do, we do it with integrity and intent. And authenticity and personality.

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei: It has always been very strange that this technology is being built by a private company. People ask me that question all the time: "Why isn’t this being built by government?" And the strangest thing about it is I agree with them. I’m uncomfortable. The worry I have is that one single government could abuse this technology just as easily as a single company could. But I think a combination of democratically elected governments — I don’t know about handing over, but some kind of oversight, some kind of joint governance.

Richard Sherman giving rookie NCB Upton Stout some pointers: “If you’re in the slot and you’re in the red zone, and their main receiver is at 2, it’s probably a seven cut. If you have to guess something and you have no indicators, guess seven. If they do some kind of motion and bring somebody out, it’s probably a double post— like 90% of the time. I’m telling you, if you play in the league long enough, after your third or fourth year, you’re gonna be like 'bro are they ever gonna change stuff?'. Start paying attention to the indicators. Start paying attention to the patterns. Teams repeat stuff. If you got beat by something, whatever you got beat on, that long pass, the next five teams you play, you getting it.” 🎥: Richard Sherman

Like Abdul won and he's got, I've got things that I could nitpick Abdul about, but like he's not campaigning with the sun anymore. Like that was in the past. And again, so like, why keep talking about it? It's like not that helpful. Neera Tanden : " It's a good thing that he's moved off of Piker. And I've said multiple times, I would support Abdul El-Sayed. I think this is a good step. A lot of people looked at his statement and said, oh, it's not enough Abdul El-Sayed's statement. It's not enough. I think this is a good step. You know, like it's good when people do stuff you want them to do. That's great. But I'll tweet less if you'd like. Tim Miller : No, I like your tweeting. I just, I'm just trying to like, I'm trying to get like an 80, 20 ratio."

In other words, this vaccine will forever change your DNA. They say it’s not going to change the genome or affect the genome in any way, or it’s not gene therapy, but I beg to differ. “The Pfizer vaccine is contaminated with plasmid DNA, it's not just mRNA...I'm kind of alarmed about the possible consequences of this...It could be causing some of the rare, but serious, side effects like death from cardiac arrest...This DNA can and likely will integrate into the genomic DNA of cells that got transfected with the vaccine mix...It's different from RNA because it can be permanent...It could cause theoretically...a sustained autoimmune attack towards that tissue. It's also a very real theoretical risk of future cancer in some people...There's probably about 200 billion pieces of this plasmid DNA in each dose of the vaccine...This is a bad idea."

James Harden on Steph Curry and LeBron James having another iconic Christmas game: “Me and Steph was talking about that after the game as well. We love to hoop. It’s just, Father Time is undefeated… I know LeBron probably feel the same way. We love the game of basketball… Now we just got little nagging injuries that when you’re younger you probably just don’t get… It’s weird, but it’s a part of life… I hope fans and people who enjoy and love the game of basketball can embrace and cherish these moments. Because once players like us are gone, we’ll never see them again.”
