Can't wait for Bryan Johnson to clone the cells using PCR and transfuse himself!

I know, I know. But we MUST clone a dinosaur. Yeah, I know.
STILL, DUDES!

Still no DNA.

Totally uninformed question but can we not reverse out the original DNA sequence from all the descendants?
I've seen similar things in a linguistics documentary where they guess at proto-languages from the ones spoken today.
If we can't, then what about our coming AI protectors? Are we doing enough to align them with our fascination with dinosaurs?

Proto language reconstruction is already full of guesswork and we have a pretty good spread of descendants to work with. With dinosaurs, we have a very narrow set of descendants from much longer ago. There's not enough information. There's an attempt run by Jack Horner known as the chickenosaurus project, but it's widely regarded as stupid (also Horner is an Epstein alum).
I'll assume your line about "coming AI protectors" was a joke.

Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should.
