It might not cause problems to the ecosystem if the animals are kept in captivity.

I suppose rather soon weโll see regulations arise for the status of such โdeextinctedโ speciesโฆ

I saw that same video this morning, so I decided to look into it. According to The New Scientist, it only resembles a dire wolf, and genetically is not that similar. Closer to a hybrid/grey wolf than an actual dire wolf. But they did try to reverse engineer an extinct species, so itโs still impressive. The BBC has another good article about it. The Wikipedia article about it also provides some more information about how they arenโt technically dire wolves, as they are a different genus.

I wonder how much will this field of science have developed over the rest of this decadeโฆ

100%, from the looks of it itโs more of a weird marketing ploy than any serious attempt at de-extinction. for example: why white fur? I have what I think is a really good guessโฆ Jon Snowโs wolf Ghost from GoTโฆ need I say more?

Iโd think an actual โfirst successfulโ deextinction attempt would be carried out on a species which died out in historical times and has alive close relatives.

Would the Dodo bird be a good first candidate? It is related to pigeons.

Iโd think a better candidate could be sometime like the northern white rhinoceros, since itโs a subspecies and so should be rather easy to โdeextinctโ.

In case people are wondering about differences between Minecraft and its movie.

Itโs to be expected that a live action movie would have some major differences to itโs videogame counterpartโฆ
Apparently, there are a lot of people who did not like the movie. Why do people insist if a movie isnโt โgoodโ that it is meant for children? What happened to films that are good quality for children?

This could be a part of the fallout the concept farms had on the perception of what sort of quality are the children used to seeing.

Maybe that villain would also be an one who might just have a pointโฆ

Yeah no they ainโt dire wolves lol pathetic.jpg and all that
they literally argued against their own research solely because they knew they couldnโt make jackals (the actual closest living relative of dire wolves) look nearly as cool as a white big grey wolf.
