medicine has a horrible instinct to be intensely violently distrustful of any new technology, while trafficking in all numbers of things that hurt patients every day. this was a stable equilibrium with strong gate keeping, but i can't help but sense the cat is out of the bag



my notes from the @midjourney medical launch - @Scobleizer compared this to the original iPhone and Tesla launches (that he was also front row for) - find you a man who looks at you like @bryan_johnson was 😍 ing for @DavidSHolz - see @iScienceLuvr tweet linked for Nature paper - reminds me of our @biohub episodes: better science starts with better data, and that means better imaging - people asking "but wen FDA?" are so small minded. we will do the easy stuff, then we'll do the harder stuff. roll up your sleeves and help or just be patient. - when you have genuinely better tech+mission, all the other hurdles just sort of fall away/figure themselves out: business model, regulatory approval, hiring, marketing, confusion over what to do - this was just the first of 8 side project launches MJ has planned this year - this is what technological ambition looks like: not 10% better, not 2x better, but 40-100x better in every dimension - how are we getting this level of innovation and ambition out of a $10m/yr research budget and whats wrong with the way we use R&D in every other megacorp/goverment/frontier lab? - how has $BFLY stock not mooned yet, this thing just had its ChatGPT moment thank you to L for letting me into what I believe is going to be the top 10 most important launches i'll ever see live.

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. They can do a scan in 60 seconds. They want to deploy 50,000 of them over the next 6 years.

A technical dive inside our new "Midjourney Scanner"




Yesterday we announced our SEC-registered AI Advisor. It's an interesting, novel product that required some fairly complex legal work to be able to launch. Let's discuss,
