Anybody getting Westworld (2016) vibes from those things? *looks at YT comments*. Yep I'm not the only one.

Mine and my wife's different employers are working to get AI to help analyze and process (hopefully streamline) work flow.

We're just hoping the AI analysis will catch the nuance in human written entries.

It's hard to not be able to escape the "AI blitz in business"-trend. The question is what business are you in where human written nuance appears?

impressive as a possible first step toward more realistic artificial limbs (or a dead end).  Otherwise it is the stuff of nightmare fuel.

I do have to agree about the horror aspect, but this tech here looks like they over complicated things using outdated technology to accomplish making a jiggly mess. I think the better approach is to start simpler and perfect things that way before going this complex.

I’ve seen some prosthetics that are the majority of an arm from being lost just above the elbow. And those were able to use simplified controls to accomplish bending of the elbow and even gripping of hands, and without the loud noise and stuttering joints
