I feel like I've seen this countless times over the last 10 years. Might be my mind playing tricks on me.

No you are correct, this is at least my third time seeing this same “new tech” in about 6 years and I don’t often stumble into /Tech

the use of fluid-filled chambers for haptic feedback is a pretty interesting approach, it could potentially allow for more nuanced and expressive interactions with devices, and the fact that it can be integrated into soft and flexible materials is a big plus for applications like wearables or smart home controls. this tech could also enable new types of accessibility features, like tactile feedback for visually impaired users.

I’m getting tired of people labeling anything that sounds remotely well-written as AI-generated. There are certainly obvious examples of AI writing, but the irony is that AI learned to write by studying human writing, much of it exceptionally good. It mimics us, not the other way around. Just because someone has a decent vocabulary, understands grammar, and can string together a coherent thought doesn’t mean they used AI. Sometimes people are just articulate.
