This seems like a major achievement that's just casually tossed in there with no ceremony or explanation.

#4This is amazing. Soon we'll be at the bionic arms featured in iRobot.

Not sure why you're downvoted here - in the video they show at least one non-hand attachment, a computer terminal which lets her control a virtual hand for training purposes. Two wires run from her implants to the terminal.

#6I've seen some amazing prosthetics on the internet, I've been seeing them for decades, but none of them get wide use. They're either all "experimental" or so insanely expensive that nobody can get them. These kinds of articles can make us feel good about science and hopeful about our future, but the reality is that the people who need these things are basically never going to have one or anything close to one.

I thought the same thing, feels like they buried the lede there a bit. I have a ton of questions, including if this could at all benefit from an approach like Toyota's robotics team recently demonstrated.

#8in a 'perfect' future: we would cut off our own limbs to get the nimble-tron 5000 with magnetic finger extensions and predictive AI that totally doesn't strangle anyone even a little.
I joke... but I unironically can't wait for replacement limb tech to be that desirable. Imagine the upgrades people would get...

People probably thought that they had a particular kind of attachment in mind. One that can't be mentioned in polite society.

What, a dildo? It can be mentioned in a polite society. Just not in a prude one. (Now, whether it's a reasonable question or just being immature is another thing...)
