  • > Actually, for Robotics hardware is a solved problem.

    I understand the sentiment but this couldn't be further from the truth. There are no robotic hand models that get close to the fidelity of humans (or even other primates).

    The technology just doesn't exist yet, motors are a terrible muscle replacement. Even completely without software, a puppeteered hand model would be revolutionary.

    > Ingratitude is common, as is sociopathy.

  • > Which is why they’re so bad at maths for instance.
