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.
Amazing how quickly a parallel universe of agent sites is popping up this weekend. Ultra-high chaos factor...

If you ever wonder why Chinese companies like DeepSeek, Qwen, and Kimi can train strong LLMs with far fewer and nerfed Nvidia GPUs, remember:
In 1969, NASA’s Apollo mission landed people on the moon with a computer that had just 4KB of RAM.
Creativity loves constraints.
@AravSrinivas Thank you! Perplexity was already an amazing research tool. The incorporation of R1 brings Perplexity to the next level. I quickly exhausted my quota of reasoning queries. Will you be lifting this limit at some point?
I have so many questions of how this came to be. Was this like a Toto-covers-Hash-Pipe-after-Weezer-covers-Africa kind of thing? Or something more sinister?
I find that @openai and @perplexity_ai are great research tools. But rather than a chat interface, curious if anyone has come across a tool with more of a note taking UX where you can organize research and ask gen-AI to fill in different sections dynamically? #GenerativeAI
