The following report is by Michael Wolf from The Spoon:
Scentian Bio, a biosensor startup that claims to have blended nature and technology by leveraging the olfactory capabilities of insects to develop a powerful new sensory tool, announced a $2.1 million seed funding today according to a release sent to The Spoon. The company’s new investors, which include Finistere Ventures and Toyota Ventures, will join the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, bringing their total backing up to $4.4 million.
Scentian says their technology relies on virtualizing insect olfactory receptors (iOR), using AI to process and interpret signals from its biosensors to replicate an insect’s neuronal network to interpret smells. According to Scentian, their sensors are a thousand times more sensitive than a dog’s nose and have dozens of unique receptors that effectively recognize millions of virtual organic compounds or VOCs.
The company says they’ve been running a trial with a large unnamed food brand, and based on its early success in this trial, the company plans to focus on quality control for the food industry initially. This company’s first digital biosensor, which is expected to launch commercially at the end of 2024, will provide quality control of key food ingredients’ smell and taste attributes. The company will focus on essential oils and expand later to other ingredients.
The pitch is compelling, but the company doesn’t explain precisely how their technology replicates insect smell detection. It says they combine “insect smell receptors” with sensing surfaces that create “the most sensitive digital fingerprint for smell.” It sounds good, but I have to wonder if it’s just a colorful way to describe a really powerful electronic nose.
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
We know that our “friend” Mr. Gates is never up to no good, so it makes you wonder what he sees in this type of technology and its potential uses beyond as advertised… Post your thoughts below.
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

For starters, this article made me look up animals/insects with the best sense of smell and I’ve learned things I never knew before about God’s creations, one being there is such an animal as a star-nosed mole, that looks like an alien rodent.
Maybe this tech would be developed in the future to further enhance the governments’ or Satan’s servants (same bunch) capabilities to hunt down people in the time of Jacob’s trouble who refused the mark, or possibly even in the future before the catching up, maybe to hunt down Christians, or use these for wars along with their facial recognition tech.
Or to discreetly and quickly “sniff out” people who are not vaccinated, if they start pushing shots hard again (since “insects collect chemical signals, and use a vast array of olfactory cues to navigate a COMPLEX chemical landscape”, according to the articles I’ve read). Just a guess.
Another attempt of Billy Gates to cover up his need to mass murder millions of people, funny idea of using God’s creation to kill God’s creation; what an evil putz!
This is a sad example of how easily men who presumed, despised & corrupted the word of God were co-opted to serve the antichrist system & idolatrous philosophical corporatism/catholicism in their tyranny & pursuit of their science falsely so called. Misapplied knowledge to covetous 1 Timothy 6 and evil Revelation 17 & 18 KJB ends bringing blindness & bondage.

It is written in Proverbs 30 KJB that we should go to the lesser beast types of God’s creation to observe & learn….but they refuse to acknowledge the warnings & the ‘negative’ to focus solely on the ‘positive’….and end up losing both. Works just like with humble saving faith versus idolatrous presumption. The first shall be last, those who seek to save their lives shall lose them, those who think they see in their own strength & without submission to the word being blind, etc. Our hope is in Christ individually & collectively, conscientiously chosen by the grace of God & sighted faith anchored to the Rock, theirs ends up being in the antichrist collective, and the rock that’s not as our Rock, even our enemies being the judges. Deuteronomy 32 KJB.
The first thought that popped into my head is the mark of the beast but Lance Neil De Leon made a few good points.
I don’t even know how I ended up here, but I
thought this post was great. I don’t know who you are but certainly you’re going
to a famous blogger if you aren’t already 😉 Cheers!
