How have we so rapidly got to the point where a self-writing tablet is no longer impressive technology?


Self writing? It mechanically presents fonted text letter by letter like a type writer. This is a gimmick at least as old as geocities


Yeah self writing. If you can show me a comparable project from 5 years ago I'll eat my hat.

You can't because LLMs that can hold a conversation didn't even exist 5 years ago, let alone automatically hooking themselves up to a bidirectional handwriting interface.

You can't just point at one part of this and say it is as old as geocities and think that that makes the whole project uninteresting. The project is greater than the sum of its parts.

I can't believe so many people in this thread are so critical of it.
