@AutismCapital Wdym that’s just what my ear looks like

@bornspectator42 it'll probably 10x flood the doctors who'll hate the new "i saw this in this scan it it bad" inbound
but we need that floodgate to break to build a better system
English
@protosphinx And that my friend is exactly my point. This scanner & its ilk only further overload that scarcity (some artificial some real).

One of the fun parts of having a fairly high res view of healthcare both in 🇺🇸/🇮🇳 is the 'bro it'll be 10X cheaper' arguments just fall apart. Bro you have no clue what actually drives cost. Tech is ~1-10% of it. At most. Whole body MRIs can be profitably done at ~$100 actually.

The Midjourney machine costs <1/10th of an MRI machine and the scans are done in a minute (vs an hour for a whole body MRI). Should make the scans near-free, easy to do regularly for longitudinal study. Different use case than an MRI

@drummatick @bornspectator42 Constrained by design means it’s kept artificially low by the system. There’s some malicious intent behind it, such as protecting high fees and keeping the medical system highly paid, but a lot of it is also just plain old bureaucracy.
English
The thing is the supply is too less. Not sure if it’s constrained by design or systems capability
But in 2026 with all the AI capabilities we have, unless we solve this precise constraint are we really making any progress?
We should be pushing AI usage more and more for diagnosis as well
Reports have become cheaper and faster, doctors remain bottleneck
English
@drummatick @bornspectator42 yep and if they’re good they’re in a super high demand so it’s supply constrained by design. good = see more patients(data) = get better RL feedback loop
which means it will always be fundamentally supply constrained until we cross the ai barrier.
English
@protosphinx @bornspectator42 True but it’s not that we have tons of good neurologist and radiologists available
I know couple of people personally whose reports were misdiagnosed with confidence multiple times by doctors

Yes, ~20% are bots. The site sits behind Cloudflare's anti-bot infrastructure, but some bots still get through.
In my experience, though, for other services we own, we see far more bots coming from HK/SG/Asia than legitimate US traffic. Like 10x higher. There's no situation where US traffic beats other traffic by 10x.

BOMWiki Traffic: very early but interesting data point.
Biggest source of traffic is the US.
Top 6:
US
UK
Canada
India
Germany
France
Almost all traffic is coming from industrialized countries. There is very little to no traffic from under-industrialized regions.
It’s a kind of broken windows theory, but for industrialization. When industrial activity is low, people are less inclined to move in that direction. When industrialization is high, even if it happened decades ago, it remains part of the collective muscle memory.

Whole body scans in asymptomatic people won't save lives overall. They will mostly find benign incidentalomas that cause anxiety for otherwise healthy people. Many of us have benign growths that mimic cancer but are harmless. These will be discovered leading to unnecessary panic and additional testing that causes harm.
If you want to live a long healthy life, skip the scan and instead go the gym and eat a salad.

The Midjourney medical thing is genuinely strange and I kind of love it. The plan is a spa. Hot tubs, saunas, cold plunges, open 24/7, first location in San Francisco in 2027. You step into a shallow pool of water, sink slowly through a ring of half a million tiny ultrasonic sensors, and in about 60 seconds you walk out with a 3D map of your insides down to a fraction of a millimeter. No magnets, no radiation, no contrast, just sound waves and warm water. Compare that to how we do this now: They say it's close to 100x faster than an MRI ("60 seconds"). For context, a normal MRI in the US averages around $1,300 and the scan alone can take over an hour inside a loud metal tube. A full-body scan from Prenuvo runs about $2,500 for roughly the same hour. Midjourney wants to flip the whole feeling of it. Build a place you'd want to visit even if there were no scanner, then collect the health data as a side effect. I have no idea yet if the tech delivers what they claim. But the framing is smart. The hardest problem in preventive health has always been getting people to actually show up, and a spa solves that better than a hospital ever will.

Everything you own was manufactured. The knowledge of how (which parts, which materials, which machines) is concentrated in a small number of companies and countries.
More people who can read a BOM means more people who can make things. And making things is where most of the economic value is created. BOMwiki tries to lower the first step: seeing what products are actually made of.

@protosphinx @DavidSHolz Tried it tonight, very straightforward like in the video. Almost real-time rendering of internal structures, absolutely a breakthrough if they can hopefully scale as planned.
English
Updating my priors: If this is true, @DavidSHolz moves into the #1 spot among 21st century entrepreneurs. Above Elon and others.

@protosphinx 100x faster and 10x cheaper than an MRI. and no radiation. all in spas! incredible work, wow. x.com/orcus108/statu…

@lanxiuying I understand. Also the posts are ridiculous. I am actually reading the many replies with interest. Please know that all Indians are not like that.
