🤯 Midjourney -- yes, the AI image company -- just shipped a brand new type of imaging machine. 🤯
- 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.
25% of adult children are now estranged from their parents. Do these 5 phrases sound familiar to you?
If so, you are not alone and can most likely thank a therapist and/or social media.
So 💔 At some point you have to give it to God 🙏
I’m not sure who needs to see this but here is yet another example of something I’ve been noting - zero curiosity from people about how water is used unless it’s CurrentThing
So you’re telling me you’ve arrested more American soldiers involved in capturing Maduro than people on the Epstein list, or politicians who somehow magically became better investors than Warren Buffett the second they took office?
Wild priorities.
The Swalwell saga perfectly shows how politics really works in America. They’ve had this dirt on him for years and sat on it until he stepped out of line. It explains why no matter who you vote for, you get the same results.
One nation under blackmail.
The American military leadership has always had this weird relationship with artillery deliverance systems, going all-in on dropping bombs by whatever means are currently in vogue and then being surprised when that strategy fails every time for a hundred years straight.
The bulk of American victories have been down to their lower-leadership getting cut off from command and therefor not being able to follow doctrine, so they come up with another solution that actually works. Like instead of calling in arty on the snipers, just fucking shooting them. Yes, that was actual combat doctrine in WW2 and it was infuriating for British, French and Canadian troops to deal with.
Iran war looks like another case of this: you're all-in on artillery because it's relatively safe and doesn't put Americans' lives at risk. But, you can't control anything and you're causing too much collateral for American civilians to stomach. You can't send troops in without it being political suicide, but that's what you need to control territory. Kinda looks like American military doctrine is centred around decapitating demographically unstable Republics with small, poorly-equipped militaries and rigid leadership rather than any kind of hardened nation that's prepared for the potential of war.
Or put another way, they've thought real hard about how to invade Liberal Democracies and Socialist states, but still, after 30 years have no idea how to deal with the goatfuckers and certainly no idea how to handle a 'greatest ally' that's busying itself with Seek and Destroy games targeting every single possible negotiator your enemy might have. Like I understand that there's a justification there from America's perspective for this war but you have to admit it's turned into a boondoggle that's left egg on America's face at every turn. Your only ally in this war, the ally that dragged you into it, is actively sabotaging you.
