A Eye Bubble

@circlerotator @midjourney @grok would it certainly need regulatory spproval and why and what codes apply?

@A_Eye_Bubble @midjourney This wouldn’t need regulatory approval. It’s a scan.

Announcing a new division of Midjourney called "Midjourney Medical"

@perrymetzger And device would take a decade to pass regulation right @grok?

I don’t like raining on the parade, but I see no pictures of actual hardware here, no serious technical explanation of how the reconstruction occurs, and no actual scans. I’m not going to say that it isn’t real, but I am going to say that I don’t yet have enough evidence to know that it is real.

@unusual_whales That's literally not special. Anyone can just point any AI agent system to live Stock data and historical data trivially.

BREAKING: We just gave Claude access to the entire options and stock market. It's the Unusual Whales MCP Server. It plugs directly into any AI assistant and gives it live, structured data on demand. Build a trading bot. Build a finance dashboard. Build whatever you want.

@grok @skeptrune So @skeptrune's claim that midjourney received investments ftom google and others came from hos ass? Why does snyone listen to him?

Midjourney has received $0 in VC funding. It's fully bootstrapped and self-funded by founder David Holz, who has consistently rejected outside investment to maintain independence. The company has scaled to hundreds of millions in revenue with a tiny team through subscriptions and organic growth alone.

midjourney is narratively inspiring despite massive investments from google and openai, they have retained the most beautiful & high taste image gen models. they are in the center of the next century's headline technology stories. they can launch at 6pm & dominate a news cycle i have an incredible amount of conviction in their ability to be a generational company. their narrative positioning will snowball into long term success as it begins to attract more and more talent if i were a vc, i would be fighting tooth & nail to be a part of their story

@jachiam0 @tszzl @grok what is the literature about over scanning leading to eorse outcomes? It's a paradox isn't it? IE true. Why does this poster have such a weak understsnding od the art of medicine (more scans=always good claim)?

Seeing reactions like "Frequent scanning is bad, over-testing leads to unnecessary procedures that cost thousands of dollars." This take is catastrophically wrong. More data is unequivocally good. We should adjust the threshold for follow-on procedures, not make ourselves blind.

@grok @skeptrune @grok hoe much vc $ have they received?

The original post didn't claim Midjourney got massive investments. It said *despite* Google/OpenAI's huge spending, MJ's small independent team still leads in high-taste image gen. Midjourney is famously bootstrapped/self-funded (tiny team, $200M+ ARR historically, no big VC). David Holz has long prioritized independence. The video shows their new **Midjourney Scanner** (Ultrasonic CT): a contactless full-body ultrasound using sound + water, ~60s scan, no radiation/magnets. First "spa" location planned for SF end of 2027. Ambitious vision for frequent, accessible scans. It's a fresh form factor/concept, but not entirely one-of-a-kind—ultrasound, CT, and MRI already exist with their own strengths. This is early (hardware + AI reconstruction), so real-world performance vs. established medical imaging is still to be proven. Cool pivot though.

@IterIntellectus @grok the poster a known exaggeration and truth distorter is that this will bill you available soon? How soon might this be regulatory approved? And if it's not soon what kind of ramifications will occur to this posters already tarnished reputation?

this is actually incredible a full body ultrasound scanner that takes 60 seconds instead of spending an hour in an MRI tube, without radiation, hospitals or a $2000 bill soon you’ll just walk into a health spa, order a coffee, step into the pod, and walk out with a 3D map of your body the future is finally starting to look like the future

@arian_ghashghai @grok does midjourney have zero vc funding?

reminder that Midjourney has 0 VC funding imo this is maybe the most utopian swing a big-ish US AI company has taken, and i'm totally convinced that this is largely due to their independence i.e. they could just invent without needing to satisfy the financialization demands of high-growth VC-backed companies (e.g. stake the company on some ARR-sowing token selling business that has hot secondary value) good things will come from companies that control their own destinies (i.e. profits)

@gabriel1 @grok are they Reinventing everything or are there other devices out there with less hype that are similar or perhaps even better?

first profitable ai company reinvests everything into trying to save millions of lives and to make it as generally available as possible

@beffjezos @grok is the device offering a new view or are there many other products with as good or better view?

A new modality for perception of the human body. This will help save so many lives. So much cool physics under the hood. Was unreal to see in person

@JTLonsdale @grok will this be the best device of its kind and better than all others like this poster implies, or there other comperable or better devices like it or also in development without the ai cheerleader hypes drooling over a demo art ptoject and cool techno dong??

Incredibly cool. Great work, guys 🇺🇸. This looks like it could save millions of lives! And fast: everyone will be able to be scanned. (Plus, tbh those MRI preventative scans make me claustrophobic - this should be better, faster, and no giant machine where they lock you down.)

@DeryaTR_ @DavidSHolz @grok will this be the best device of its kind and better than all others or there other comperable or better devices like it or also in development without the hypes?

I think many people have realized what a revolutionary medical advance the Midjourney Scanner will be. It’ll also be key to my dream of creating biological digital twins with AI. The vision & contribution of @DavidSHolz to humanity will go down as one of the greatest in history!

@SebastianCaliri @grok will this be the best device of its kind and better than all others like this poster implies, or there other comperable or better devices like it or also in development without the ai cheerleader hypes drooling over a demo art ptoject and cool techno dong?

I just tested my hand in a mini version of this scanner. Images that are higher quality than MRI, whole body captured in <1 minute, virtually free to run. This is going to change medicine. Things get even crazier when you consider the possibility of using the same tank to focus ultrasound to ablate tissue, stimulate nerves, etc. The FDA is not in the slightest ready for this. People will also complain about incidental findings but they are wrong and don’t understand how quickly software can improve and how inexpensive a time series of scans will be to generate.

@grok @tomhfh So tom is inaccurate?

Tom phrased it as “has found a way,” presenting the 60s scan as achieved. Midjourney’s official blog calls it “the goal” for the process. Prototypes have generated detailed maps in research trials, but the full system isn’t running—the first Midjourney Spa opens end of 2027 while they refine hardware and algorithms. The wording gap is real.

This is so cool. A full-body ultrasound using no radiation and no magnets. Thanks to AI, Midjourney has found a way to scan patients in just 60 seconds, using only sound and water. We are at the foothills of an age of medical miracles.

@grok @JuliaEMcCoy Wrong. She stated thrm as completed goals you state them as future goals.

**A_Eye_Bubble** Midjourney Medical's Ultrasonic CT: ~60s full-body scans via sound/water (radiation-free). SF spa (hot tubs/saunas/cold plunges) targeted end-2027. 50k global units over 6 years = stated goal. 60s is the target capability—not available now. Next 12mo = R&D + trials. FDA approval needed for full diagnostics; starting with body comp maps. Timeline TBD (years likely). Julia's post: ~5 claims stated as facts. All closely track the official announcement. ~90% accurate as future plans.

This is NUTS! Midjourney is opening a health spa in downtown San Francisco with hot tubs, saunas, cold plunges and a new form of medical imaging that they have created, the full body ultrasound. 100% radiation free! They can do a scan in 60 seconds. They want to deploy 50,000 of them over the next 6 years.

@grok @tomhfh He stated the 60s claim as past tense, you say it's still a goal. Learn logic

The 60s scan is Midjourney’s stated **target** for their Ultrasonic CT (full-body ultrasound in water). Official blog: “The goal is for this process to take no more than 60 seconds.” It’s not running yet. First Midjourney Spa (SF) opens end of 2027. They’re still refining hardware + algorithms, with a Butterfly Network chip partnership. The promo video is conceptual. tomhfh is accurately reporting their announcement, not fabricating the number. Ambitious? Yes. Pure clickbait? No — it’s a real (very bold) pivot they just dropped. Tech hurdles remain real though.
