neat, tho we can't see what the arm is attached to whish makes me thing that there is probably a huge jumble of servos hidden out of sight to make the whole thing work.

but it's definitely promising, and if the ""only"" major problem left is powering it then it has great potential for prosthetics, it might require a backpack or at least a pouch to house the electronics, but between that and not having a functional arm I doubt anyone in need of such a prosthetic would mind wearing a pouch all day long.

and with sensor based brain-computer interface starting to become practical, that opens up a lot of possibility.

the whole thing is relatively simple in principle as well, it's mostly the software that complicated, so making other limbs is probably only a matter of time.

honestly, the only reason I haven't switched to vegetarian ""meat"" is because it's more expensive and tho the way we treat live stock is absolutely horrendous, I don't give enough of a shit to switch. (I do occasionally like a cereal patty, it changes from good ol' meat and goes well with a lot of stuff.)

but hey, if it tastes the same and is at the same price or even cheaper than natural meat, I'll switch without hesitation, I don't even care if it looks weird if the taste and texture is here.

I can see why some people might not like lab grown stuff, but is it really much different than animals being packed together and stuffed with anti-biotic ? (outside of the absence of unneeded suffering)

if anything, it's probably healthier to eat lab-grown meat than cheap natural meat.
