So good.

@bfl_ai @AnjneyMidha I’ll be there in a week! Kann ich vorbei schauen?

I’m not sure what Google’s plan for AI in Gmail is, but their “AI inbox” isn’t it. Completely irrelevant notifications, some highlighting “deadlines” from 5 days ago, while actually urgent stuff gets missed. Terrible intro to Gmail AI as a user. I’ve already turned it off.

They call it “Full-body Ultrasound Computational Tomography”, and I for one can’t wait to get FUCT. 🙌

Midjourney bootstrapped a magical money machine via generative images and then took the profits and reinvented medical imaging using ultrasound. Absolutely legendary.

A technical dive inside our new "Midjourney Scanner"

[Wiki Milczyńska, MD @w_milczynska]

I've now seen 50 screenshots of the Cursor founder in people's DMs and I'm convinced the real product was the outbound. man ran a one-man SDR team against the entire tech industry and closed it at $60B

[Peter @peter]

Absolutely incredible work from @midjourney … a breakthrough in medical imaging.

[Alex Volkov @altryne]

MidJourney just announced... a full body ultrasound! Yup... read on because it's as crazy as it sounds.

"As powerful as MRI and as casual as a trip to the spa"

They are calling it "the @midjourney scanner"

Insane details:

- First, the scale. The device uses 8,960 individual transducers arranged in a ring around your body

- The precision is the most jaw-dropping part: it resolves motion at the picometer range. It can image internal tissues finer than the width of an atom. We are talking sub-atomic level diagnostic capability

- The compute requirement is massive. The system processes 17 gigabytes of data per second.

It takes 40GB of raw data to reconstruct just one cross-sectional slice. And they are planning to scan 100 slices?

- Midjourney claims that fewer than 12 of these machines could perform more full-body scans than every MRI machine on Earth combined.

Welcome to the future of healthcare!

Not only these scanners are announced, they will exist in a "Midjourney SPA" - with hot tubs, saunas, cold plunges, and 9-10 whole body scanners.

@_fat_ugly_rat_ This is a really bad take. Approximately 60-70% of all leafy greens & lettuce consumed in the *entire USA* comes from this swath of land. Plus ~99% of artichokes, 92% of broccoli, 94% of processing tomatoes & virtually all of the “prepackaged salads” you find in grocery stores.

@yrechtman @mignano @meetgranola Evergreen content. I need to save this for repeated future use.

[Peter @peter]

@Katie_Roof The return of @eoghan in founder mode may have been a factor. 😉

@ashleymayer It was a magical time.

[Peter @peter]

@ashleymayer I'm just trying to avoid the permanent underclass, aka Rubble Alliance.

@boardyai This is awesome! Boardy’s been such a game changer. Excited to see what the pro level unlocks. 🚀

I remember this ad. Such a clever & powerful statement. :-)

[Justin Schroeder @jpschroeder]

Fable isn't the first.

In 1999 the department of defense blocked exports of the PowerMac G4 for crossing the 1 gigaflop threshold.

Steve Jobs turned it into an ad.

This likely includes AI rock star Andrej Karpathy, who's in the US on an EB-1 "Extraordinary Ability" visa, and who worked at Deep Mind, OpenAI and (now) Anthropic. 🫠
