As an AI-native dentist, this is exactly the kind of soft merge I’ve been waiting for. MouthPad turns a custom-scanned intraoral device into a hands-free interface — tongue for cursor, head movement and sip gestures for control. It’s a fascinating convergence of dentistry, accessibility, and human-computer interaction. Dentists already live the scanning, fit, biocompatibility, and long-term tissue considerations these devices raise. I’d love to see dental professionals and AI labs co-designing the next generations from day one. Also very curious: who’s building the patient-owned oral-data layer for this emerging category? @augmentaltech 🦷🧠✨

No it’s not. Cuz no one uses a freaking mouse pointer alone to vibe code — it’s either verbal or typed. This silly tongue device is just that. Silly. It’s gotta be for some kind of disability- cuz normal communication is far superior. When brain interfaces come, all bets are off. But putting in a damn retainer? To swish my tongue around the top of my mouth and try to maneuver a mouse pointer?? The F🤬 is wrong with you, just use speech to text. Or multimodal audio direct. Simple.

@beffjezos i like it...~15 years ago when i was a teenager i was thinking on making such things, eq.: non-invvasive EEG which pauses horror movie due to sudden spike of unpleasant stimulus...eq.:

@beffjezos I agree! Models are commoditized, now the bottleneck is the interface. https://x.com/augmentaltech/status/2080326837243412617?s=20
