And which part of "robotic limb that can move like a real limb" seems distant from normal limb usage to you? I did mean a robotic prosthesis attached to the body, to be clear, not a separate arm like this video.

Billions of years of evolution have resulted in brains that, while intelligent, make mistakes. These mistakes often get the organism killed. It follows that there must be some benefit to making mistakes (or simply that it's just harder to be perfect than it is to survive with mistakes). Benefit: efficiency. Done.

What I meant was that if you can control a robotic limb that can move like a real limb, what's the benefit in trying to get the much more complex muscle control? It's not really needed at that point.

Hm. I sense a plan here.

Oh, okay. It's under a different user's account.

The file is no longer on SoundCloud, if it ever was.

I suppose. Controlling muscles takes a lot more fine-tuning than controlling robotic limbs, though. A lot.

Safe search terms? This is the Internet, sir. I welcome you to check out Rule 34. :P

Now you can.

They already do, if you turn off SafeSearch...

That makes sense, too. Although marketing to criminals is...an interesting strategy, I suppose.

"I swear, I wasn't looking at it! I don't even like kids! I only downloaded it to see if I could get away with it! Why doesn't the jury believe me?" Yeah. I see that working. /sarcasm

A while back, a Gizmodo article about exoskeletons began with the sentence, "We've had brain-computer interfaces for many years now..." Though I knew that, the way it was phrased struck awe in me. Now we're living in a time when humans have advanced beyond moving a mouse in 2D and into moving a hand in 3D. Yes, the…

It's easier to "read" the brain's activity and do something with it than it is to regenerate nervous tissue or control muscles. Of course, the long-term goals of this kind of tech aren't to control robotic limbs on a table, like this one, but to control full prosthetic limbs attached to the body, thus restoring normal…

Who is this marketed towards, exactly? Law enforcement/military? Maybe, but it sounds more like a consumer ad. So what could a consumer possibly have on his/her SSD that it must be physically burned to death? (That was a painful image to see, by the way, all those destroyed components.)

Mmm. Melty.

I didn't say she wasn't hot, I said she was malnutritioned. One is an opinion, the other is an observation. When you can see her bones through the skin on her chest, there's no denying that she is medically malnutritioned, regardless of whether you find her attractive or not.
