Hello World is back! What do you think of Ginkgo Bioworks' vision for new bio-based manufacturing?
Eshh watching here in Philippines
But if we humans can manipulate DNA was our DNA designed that way from a previous ancestral being🤔
Thank god Vance is back! you made us wait too long!!
The CEO seems like a very cool down to earth kind of guy, I'd love to have some beers with him and chat about the future. If anyone is going to be in control of bioengineering DNA etc. this is a kid of guy to do it, I don't sense any psychopathic traits in him (unless that was his trick all along). This guy is like the opposite of Elizabeth Holmes (he knows what the fuck he's talking about, and actually has something working), I hope he gets all the funding he needs, in fact, can I invest?
Good to see Ashlee Vance back at the helm, I missed his relaxed and easy going delivery of complex topics that actually affect us now and in the near future. Please do more Hello World, maybe on a separate channel so it's easy to know when it's available.
Everyone’s friendly smiles have me convinced that nothing could possibly go wrong with this! Amazing!
Lol
Real coding is Bio Coding, change my whole perspective about Bio-Engineering & its application in the real world
"Well, you just print it!" lol he's never gonna explain how that actually works.
Yeah ! like is he using toner, laser or inkjet ?
Amino acids
Because it's not complicated anymore. We've been printing amino acids and nucleotides for years. Also, the mRNA vaccines from Pfizer and Moderna? They are partially made using "printing"
Used to be called gene splicing. We still use viral therapies to act as his huge machine in certain products. Ginkos's Factory is basically a mechanical virus.
@@Madmoody21 Interesting train of thought
That CEO is so cool. His passion is contagious.
That is part of the reason why he became CEO. Can you imagine bringing that kind of valuation for his company without having to sell anything. This video was a paid advertisement this company is very similar to Zymergen. You can check out MIT Tech Review's article about this one.
Always the best type. USA one ? Charles Hoskinson this man should be president.. his.. fearless posting of the 20yr anniversary of that horrible day.. blog.. was beautiful... very touching. Naming her Ada too :) so fitting. If a woman is allowed to be president then actually I would want Amber Ghaddar (of the project we call Albert) who spoke in Leicester at a TEDx event *capitalism is dead long live capitalism* what a smart woman.. makes sense highly educated and focusing on things.. not wasting your life matters education overhaul.. medicine overhaul.. its all coming, surely :) thanks USA and the rest None of us is greater than ALL OF US ALL IN THIS TOGETHER
Quite the opposite. He looks and sounds like a scammer. Nothing about this company sounds genuine. The CEO is a huge red flag.
Vance back again! Thank you ❤️
Man I love Ashley Vance's reporting, there's just something about him or his style that just makes watching any of his reporting really enjoyable.
Thx!!
I came here to say exactly this!
I like reporters on grass, too
Great video, I was always eager to know more about this company, thank you for that.
18:39 "Well trees" this was a moment. 👌😝
He got me
Very interesting subject, well presented short-documentary , congratulations. I hope some of this projects achieve their goals soon.
10:30 now i wanna know more about that teacup poodle
This is beyond amazing. I can see limitless potential here.
Oh my gosh, this is the best of Bloomberg! I really like Ashley Vance journalism!
Thx!
VERY EXCITED TO SEE ASHLEE VANCE ONCE AGAIN
Thx!
3rd qtr. 2022, company has loss amazing $668 million dollars, while top executives keep sell their shares massively!😮 Stock is now $1.47 a share!😂
My mind has been blown away. I can not think anything else after seeing this video, just imaging the possibility of DNA programming which is infinite.
Great stuff!
Well, how did they knew that the scent they created is the original scent of that extinct flower. 🤔
They don't. Human trait is to suppose definition with little conclusive facts. Since this is so pervasive the idea of knowing anything is just perspective. Like the soy burger thing I will never understand this. Why would vegetarians want to simulate the eating of animals and what's wrong with real meat for non vegetarians? I am willing to bet by the time you harvest soy ship it to some place to have a fake patty made and get it to the table It probably has more bad ecological impact than properly managed real beef.
What could POSSIBLY go wrong...
T. rex screaming lol
immortality . that is what i want from biotech. everything else , afterwards
You think you want it. You actually don't.
Cope
If you wanna be immortal you need to die cause "what is dead may never die"
Are you sure that you can maintain your sanity after that many years?
@@yomajo you talk like you know what it's like to live an immortal life. i'd take my shot. if not immortality, at least 250 years of good, healthy life.
Love these videos about these fascinating technologys. Hopefully at some point we will really get to see some real world benefitial stuff. More of it Bloomberg.
Thx!
Real world is benefiting already :/ Keep it up Bloomberg ;)
Scary but thumbs up for reporting it
Probably my fave one from bloomberg quicktake
I love it! However, they never answered a single one of your questions lol. Just kept talking about what they were talking about
To be fair the answer to alot of the questions he was asking are not easy to understand without a university degree in Molecular biology/genetics. Genetics is an insanely difficult field of study. If he answered the questions even in a very basic way 99% of people wouldn't understand.
how old is this video? because i seriously can't taste the difference between alcohol free and normal beer anymore... maybe it's just Dutch beer?
Won't be a Ginkgo if they can't manage the company. Burning cash with no profit as well as th ceo paying himself more than the company makes
Probably your best show to date.
All I hear in my head is Jeff Goldblum " you never stopped to think if you should"
Awesome and interesting video. Admittedly though, I got most excited when I saw that beautiful dog at 10:30 ❤️
This host is great, great piece
Thx!
I love the Hello World series. Keep 'em coming! 👍
Thx!
Oxygen concentration was much higher levels when Dinos roamed Earth.

I wish them the best. Hope to see someone growing organs for us one day.
We can 3D print them already, first one was a liver or something about.. far out mighta been 10yrs ago i used to check 3ders every day, whatever the biggest 3d printing news site was.. I bailed so long ago.. they were already printing chocolate castles intricate details lol
bloomberg releasing the video after stock fell for gingko, anyways I truly believe that they are doing quality work
so if someone at Bloomberg bought the stock at that low price then released the video, would that be some kind of insider-trading? I sure a positive or negative article/video from Bloomberg is enough to affect a stock price
why does the ceo remind me so much of Martin Shkreli?
The Gingko guys explanation at 5:00 went really condescendingly simple.. It put me off a little, he could have at least dropped a buzzword 'crispr' or two.
Have to admit i got Theranos vibes watching this, then i saw a comment about Scorpion.
Same
Im majoring in Computer science with hopes of working in this industry.
Mimicking Great Taste of Beef, What about Mimicking Great Nutrition of Beef?
Convenient that this came out right after the Scorpion Capital report....
So you publish this the day after Ginkgo gets exposed as a scam by Scorpion capital?
the shade right ?
Scorpio capital is a short seller so naturally it’s not interested in the actual product, just short term gains.
Great opportunity to buy in
@@Stevenpwalsh, yes fantastic opportunity to buy for the ultra long-term. I began building a small position, added more today, right before the market closed.
Plato's Cave alum Thanks for holding the bag for us to get out lol
The scene in the brewery is magnificent
Very cool!
*Really Hope This is not Another Theranos* 🤔🤔🤔🤔
Excellent commercial of molecular biology important to economic growth... Hope next generation is synthetic biology, bioinformatics, etc all the best
Thanks
Brilliant!
Wonderful job. Hope to succeed one day 😊
2:18 it is not the spoon that bends, but your "self"
I personally believe this will be the next big biotech company like in the early days of Moderna.
This was pioneered by dr j Craig ventre, years ago he created the worlds first living organism who’s parent is a computer….simply amazing. Then it all went quiet. This isn’t as new as we are lead to think. These people are not the first to do this and certainly didn’t create the technology. When dr ventre completed his task he sequenced the human genome for fun. Ethics brought it all to a grinding halt. The future versions of crisper will be much more advanced and sure enough a cure for all cancer is on the way also the implications for the environment and cleaning the sea and atmosphere are just simply mind boggling. If only we could all put as much energy in this direction instead of pointless progress hindering protests on many matters we would be in a much better place.
16:30 alarm bells much...
Basically, they are using CRISPR.
We miss you Vance
I need to work here, this is a dream!
Yes, of course. What could go wrong?
I met this team back in 2013. Pretty incredible to see what they’ve built.
I met them in 2021 and they didn't hire me 🤪😅
Will we soon be able to 3-D print a molecule? Like have a printer at your house that prints meds?
Cool video, but that assembly line wasn't anything that hasn't existed for about 25 years, providing that there weren't any major processing steps that weren't shown
Just waiting for my buddy T-Rex to show 🆙🦖 !!!
This industry needs more oversight and regulations than facebook
Yea, with this, now zuckenberg can really fck himself and transform into a real lizard.
Dam the ceo really explained it in layhems term
All of this are useful for outer space life.
dude really opened up at the bar haha
it is remarkable factory
@5:08 "i dont always smell random viles but when i do, i prefer the smell of a jock strap"
ok the plant fertilizer thing was next level
Amyris can actually scale.
The movie "Splice" came to mind
What could go wrong playing God?
Too many KZhead ads had to give up on the video
Came here after the scorpion capital report.
You might want to insert the word "to" somewhere in your title. I am sure you bright sparks will figure it out
Interesting
I felt he has the same vibes as Theranos….will revisit again in a few years
PLIOCENE + PICUS ? PLIOPICUS hahaha what a cool machine name
This unbdoubtedly opens a world of possibilities. I simply hope that people understand that, in the same way that we appreciate and keep art and paintings because it is a unique product of history, we find that species that came naturally deserve to have their space, too. Making bacteria that produces ivory to destroy the elephant hunting market? Awesome,go for it Making bacteria that put nitrogen into the soil without our control and without knowing how much they will reproduce? Not so cool. Nitrogen is a pollutant that ,when it gets to rivers, kills fish because tiny plants grow so rapidly they consume all the air, you know? Seeing he acknowledges not to know how DNA manages to grow an arm, I'd lke people to realize they don't understands ecosystems much either. On Mars the story could be very different
I liked the bit when he said "DNaEaeA"
LOL! why wear a lab coat when that female scientists hair is everywhere??
this can be used to broadcast the scent.
maybe one day they will add magnetism and electric pulses to certain dna
The smell of the flower is the yeast farting
perfect example of when theoretical should stay far away from practical
How Bloomberg can't type a correct title
Got some FMA vibes when I saw the dog.😖
Not true, we're great at making A LOT of garbage.
nobody remarking about that joke comment at 10:30 about that dog being a poodle?
Where are new episodes??
Can they recreate the hairs in my ear that i have lost, as to stop Tinitus
What happened with ginkgo
Come on Bloomberg...this is advertorial.Synthetic bio is still smoke,mirrors and dreams.Biofermenters are still an expensive way to make things.Look at Amyris.Same story. Inflated valuation has just been exposed. Nice video but Ask tougher questions please....
I thought Boston Dynamics was going to destroy humanity but maybe it's these guys down the street.
As I take my raptor for a walk around the park.
Just give us API for development 🤓
Plums that taste like cherries.... Please
Can’t wait until they engineer out mutation and evolution, random events. Great potential but just because you can do something doesn’t mean you should.
I want a comfy sofa made from my tissues, bones, flesh and skin. Can't get more comfortable than that.
We're living in the future, don't worry about it too much.
This aged well
He spent so much time wondering if he could that he didn’t stop to think about whether he should
Scary 😟. Who manages the environmental and ethical side of this activity?
Hello world in BBC or in here?
These are the types of people that need to be monitored
