Palmer Luckey of Anduril is teaming with Ben Lamm of Colossal Biosciences to launch Warhound, a startup dedicated to genetically engineering and cloning dogs for service in war, police work and first responder work. Speaking to Wired, Lamm explained that the project was twofold. One part of the project would oversee the genetic engineering and cloning of the ideal dogs for war, and the other would develop tech for them to use on battlefields.

Police dogs are analogous to whips, in that they are an ineffective weapon against an equal enemy but good at reducing the morale of slaves.

(sorry if I'm just restating your point, I think it's an important one)
