@afshineemrani Amazing

I'm a cardiologist. Something just happened today that I genuinely did not see coming — and it could change the future of preventive medicine more than anything I've written about on this platform. Midjourney — the AI company that became famous for generating images from text prompts — just announced a medical hardware division and unveiled a working prototype of a full-body scanner unlike anything that's ever existed. It's called the Midjourney Scanner. And it works like this. You step into a shallow pool of water. You stand on a platform that slowly descends — about two inches per second — through a ring containing roughly half a million tiny ultrasonic transducers, each the size of a grain of sand. Every one of them acts as both a speaker and a microphone, sending ultrasonic waves through your body from every angle and recording what comes back. 60 seconds later, you step out. The scan is done. No radiation. No magnets. No claustrophobia. No IV contrast. Just sound, water, and an almost incomprehensible amount of computing power — roughly 2 petaflops processing 17 gigabytes per second of raw acoustic data — reconstructing a 3D map of your entire internal anatomy down to half a millimeter resolution. Organs. Tissues. Blood vessels. Bones. Muscle. Fat distribution. All segmented by AI in real time. As a cardiologist who has spent months writing about how the standard screening playbook misses the majority of future heart attacks — this is the technology I've been waiting for without knowing it existed. Here's why this matters for the future of your heart. Right now, getting a detailed look inside your cardiovascular system requires either a CT scan (radiation), an MRI (magnets, claustrophobia, 45-60 minutes, $1,000+), or a coronary CT angiogram (radiation, IV contrast, limited availability). These are powerful tools. I order them regularly and they save lives. But they're reactive. You get them when something is already suspected. They're expensive. They're uncomfortable. And for most people, they happen once — maybe twice — in a lifetime. Imagine instead: a 60-second scan with no radiation that you could repeat monthly or quarterly. Tracking cardiac structure over time. Watching body composition shift. Detecting changes in organ size, fluid distribution, or vascular architecture before symptoms ever develop. Building a longitudinal dataset of YOUR body that AI can analyze for patterns no single snapshot would reveal. That's what Midjourney is building toward. The company plans 50,000 scanners worldwide over six years, with capacity for a billion scans per month. The first location — the "Midjourney Spa" in San Francisco — opens at the end of 2027 with 10 scanners alongside saunas, cold plunges, and a gym. The scan costs a few dollars. The experience is designed to feel like wellness, not medicine. The technology is built on Butterfly Network's ultrasound-on-chip platform — 40 modules per scanner — combined with Midjourney's own AI segmentation and reconstruction stack. David Holz, the founder, claims the system aims for image quality comparable to MRI in many aspects but at nearly 100x the speed with zero radiation. Now the caveats — because I'm a physician and the caveats matter enormously. This is a Gen 1 prototype. About a dozen people have been scanned so far. Current scan time is actually closer to 20 minutes, not 60 seconds — the system is bottlenecked by bandwidth and reconstruction algorithms. The 60-second target is aspirational for future hardware generations. It is not FDA-cleared for diagnostic use. Midjourney is starting with body composition maps — a category below diagnostic imaging in the regulatory hierarchy. The path from "beautiful 3D body scans" to "clinically validated diagnostic tool that your cardiologist can act on" runs through years of clinical trials, comparative studies against MRI and CT gold standards, and FDA review. No independent clinical validation has been published. The imaging claims come from Midjourney's own demonstrations. Comparative data against established modalities does not yet exist. And the privacy implications of full-body internal scans at planetary scale — a billion scans per month — is a conversation that hasn't even started yet. So I want to be precise. This is not ready for clinical medicine today. It may not be ready for years. Many ambitious medical hardware projects have failed in the gap between prototype and product. But. The fact that a working prototype exists — producing real segmented 3D anatomy from sound waves and compute alone — means the physics works. The engineering works. The question is no longer "is this possible" but "how fast can it be validated and scaled." And if it is validated — if the resolution holds up against MRI, if the AI segmentation proves reliable, if the regulatory path clears — then what we're looking at is the most significant new imaging modality in 50 years. For my entire career, preventive cardiology has been limited by the fact that seeing inside the body is expensive, slow, uncomfortable, and infrequent. We catch disease late because we image rarely. We image rarely because imaging is hard. A 60-second, no-radiation, spa-based full-body scan that costs a few dollars would demolish every one of those barriers. I've written about AI detecting inflamed arteries. About gene editing curing cholesterol. About GLP-1 drugs rewriting metabolic medicine. About cellular reprogramming reversing aging. This is the missing piece: the ability to see inside every human body, routinely, safely, and affordably — so all of those interventions can be deployed before the disease arrives instead of after. The company that taught AI to generate images from imagination just built a machine that generates images from the human body. The future of medicine showed up today from the last place anyone expected.

@WasAcop Holy shit

🚨Big announcement from Asmongold! He just said live on stream that he’ll be reading the entire UK Rape Gang Inquiry report word for word on stream. With his huge audience of 3.4 million+ Twitch followers, this is going to reach a massive number of people. No more relying on mainstream media spin. Tune in to @Asmongold on Twitch tomorrow. This one’s important. #Asmongold #RapeGangInquiry #GroomingGangs

@Milajoy I don’t know but beer is expensive as hell even at the grocery store.

GEN Z isnt drinking alcohol. The alcohol industry has LOST over $800 billion in the last four years. Are they smoking weed instead? Pills? Or just living sober?

Anyone who surfed the early web between 2000-2010. What’s the one website/app you still think about?

Someone please explain why this is not possible. It should be inevitable.

Why can’t ChatGPT talk to Codex???? You would unleash an amazing amount of power. @sama

@MarioNawfal He did look better with his natural nose. But this is becoming internet bullying this poor guy man.

@DNIGabbard @grok I thought Tulsi resigned

Today, I’m releasing never before seen intelligence revealing new evidence of past US government funding for more than 120 biolabs in over 30 countries, including Ukraine. In support of President Trump‘s Executive Order to end federal funding of dangerous gain of function research around the world, and increase transparency and accountability, ODNI will continue working with partners across the Administration to identify where these labs are, what pathogens they contain, and what “research” is being conducted. odni.gov/index.php/news…

@Avabelly__ FAKE

Maybe I'm overreacting, but this driveway has me second-guessing. We just put $10,800 into a new concrete drive, and while the finish looks great, the layout isn't what I envisioned. The wide grass strip between the tire tracks makes it read more like two concrete lanes than a traditional driveway. The contractor says it's intentional, cost-effective, and attractive. I get the idea, but from some angles it honestly looks like the center was skipped. What do you think? Does this style look good to you, or does it feel a bit unfinished?

Trump has said some version of “an Iran deal is close” at least 38 times since March 2026. Reuters recently published a timeline noting that he has repeatedly predicted the war would end soon throughout the conflict.

@MattH_4America It’s mostly disgraceful to all the incredible presidents who have lived in that house (Abe Lincoln for example) and have people fighting to the death like it’s some sort of reality tv show. What a poor choice. It’s an insult to this country.

This UFC fight at the White House might be the most embarrassing thing yet. Trump somehow manages to make America look worse, when we think we have already seen the bottom. And we have to deal with this circus for 2 1/2 more years.

@MattH_4America Agreed. What a clown show

Guys, these types of posts are completely fake and are using bots to get to top of the algorithm so you respond thinking other real people are weighing in. Report this shit. ChatGPT made this in 10 seconds. Not even real.

@Avabelly__ FAKE ENGAGEMENT FARMING. DONT WASTE YOUR TIME

My husband and I had a huge argument after a storm damaged several things in our backyard, including this patio chair. I wanted to throw it away immediately because it's clearly broken and no longer safe to sit on. My husband disagrees. He says replacing outdoor furniture is expensive and believes he can somehow repair it. I think he's being unrealistic and wasting time on something that's beyond saving. Every time I look at it, I see a trip to the emergency room waiting to happen. Now the damaged chair has been sitting on our patio for weeks because neither of us will give in. He says I'm too quick to throw things away. I say knowing when to let go is just common sense. This has turned into one of those ridiculous household arguments that somehow became much bigger than the chair itself. If you were in my position, would you keep trying to repair it, or would you get rid of it and move on? What would your advice be?
