That's pretty fuckin cool. I'm an electrician, I could absolutely use an extra thumb sometimes. By the time this stuff hits the market I intend to afford one lol. Robot digits and limbs! No surgery or wifi required!
... I personally like the idea of ppl exploring new ideas regardless if they’re helping our immediate problems.
i always wondered if people like william gilbert or otto guericke ever had to endure derision from people due to their experimentation w electricity well before its impact could be known.
some part of me wants to hear overconfident and dogmatic responses like: "electricity?!!! who tf would ever need such a useless thing?!"

Humanity: The planet is burning and there are several ongoing genocides. We need help!
"Scientists" under capitalism: Best I can do is a second thumb for rich people... How about an "AI" thumb?

You want a handful of robotics nerds to overthrow capitalism for you?

I, for one, welcome our new ai controlled thumb overlords.

On a side note, I suppose people may find it particularly challenging when it comes to giving others "thumbs down". :(
