“We could probably build Jurassic Park if we wanted to,” Max Hodak tweeted Saturday. “Wouldn’t be genetically authentic dinosaurs but [shrugging emoji]. Maybe 15 years of breeding + engineering to get super exotic novel species.”

Hodak didn’t elaborate on how his neurotechnology company might be able to revive the long-extinct prehistoric beasts but he later championed the idea, claiming it could increase biodiversity.

I don't think this sort of thing will be technically feasible in the near term.

Having seen the movie, I doubt that sufficient DNA has been recovered from Mesozoic creatures let alone dinosaurs to allow this to happen.

Not interested unless Jeff Goldblum is involved.
