Anyone who cannot sustain a civil discussion that involves differing perspectives is indoctrinated or at the very least overly emotionally attached to being correct. Both liberals and conservatives behave this way at their worst.
I’ve only been on X for a short time, but I’ve seen more potential for real information exchange here than other platforms so far.
That being said, engaging with someone who has already decided they cannot be swayed from what they believe to be the truth is about as useful as discussing mass transit with a brick wall.
Mere opinion has no place in the mind of an individual who wishes to truly know themselves or perceive reality as it is, rather than how they wish it to be.
I would suggest you don’t let social media make you forget that or get you addicted to dopamine hits of word battles and echo-chamber validation.
I geek out on the coming technological age shift pretty much all day, so I know a lot more about that than the current economic system.
In my estimation everything we know will completely shift in the next 5-10 years. It seems most likely to me that the use of mass robotic labor will replace our dependence on import goods (unless China scales much faster and is still cost ground zero).
I mean…the Republican Party (under President Abraham Lincoln) was the main political and military opponent of the Confederacy during the American Civil War (1861–1865) and responsible for both ending slavery and Juneteenth…so slinging the word ignorant is a bit ironic.
I’m not a Republican, these are just facts.
This is sooo wild!
The Midjourney Scanner is a groundbreaking full-body ultrasonic imaging device announced by Midjourney (the AI image generation company) on June 17, 2026, as part of their new Midjourney Medical division.
How it works
• You stand on a platform in a shallow pool of water (described as spa-like and relaxing).
• The platform lowers you slowly (about 5 cm / 2 inches per second) while your body passes through a ring of ~500,000 tiny ultrasound sensors (each grain-of-sand sized, using tech like Butterfly Network chips).
• The sensors emit ultrasonic waves from all angles (like dolphin echolocation) and capture the echoes/reflections based on tissue density and stiffness.
• This generates massive data (terabytes per second) that’s processed into a detailed 3D body map with sub-millimeter (milli- or sub-millimeter) precision, showing fat, muscle, organs, bones, etc.
Scan time: Aimed at ~60 seconds (vs. 60+ minutes for a full-body MRI).
Key claims and features
• No ionizing radiation (unlike CT) and no strong magnetic fields (unlike MRI) — safer and more accessible.
• Midjourney calls it “Ultrasonic CT” and claims it’s comparable or superior to MRI in some ways, but much faster and easier.
• Initial focus: Detailed body composition maps (not yet full diagnostic use, which would need regulatory approval like FDA).
• AI is used more for data reconstruction, segmentation, and labeling than core imaging.
Background and context
• Led by former Apple Vision Pro engineer Ahmad Abbas.
• First “research spa” planned for San Francisco ~end of 2027.
• Midjourney founder David Holz described it as a “weird and crazy” pivot funded by their AI success, aiming to make advanced health scanning as casual as a spa visit.
It’s still early-stage (prototyping/optimization phase for the next 12 months), with big claims but no independent clinical validation yet and no hardware track record from the company.
This marks a major shift from text-to-image generation to physical medical hardware.
