๐คฏ Midjourney -- yes, the AI image company -- just shipped a brand new type of imaging machine. ๐คฏ
- 100x faster than an MRI.
- 10x cheaper.
Full body scanned in 60 seconds instead of an hour in a tube. Ultrasound based, MRI-level resolution.
And it's real -- not a concept, a working machine. You step into a shallow pool of warm water, a ring of half a million sensors sends sound through your body from every angle, and ~60 seconds later you have a 3D map of your insides down to a fraction of a millimeter. No radiation, no tube, no lying still.
They're not even building it as a hospital machine -- they're building a spa. The scan is a side-effect of a place you'd want to hang out anyway.
Lastly, it is built by 9 people. NINE PEOPLE.
You can just do things.
