I have so many thoughts:
1. It's wildly hard to create at the level Josh does, and to teach as clearly as he does.
2. It's an unreasonably affordable price for this level of depth and content: dude just love the game.
3. Personally, it pushes me to be far better on NEUMA.
Let me explain why an AI art company just built a full-body medical scanner, because almost everyone is reading this as a random pivot.
Ultrasonic CT works by firing sound through your body and recording the ripples that scatter back. Half a million emitters the size of a grain of sand, surrounding you in water, each one listening. What comes back is noise. Reconstructing a clean 3D image of muscle and tissue from that scattered acoustic mess is an inverse problem, and it is brutally hard. The hardware is the easy part. Butterfly Network already makes the chips. The reconstruction is where every previous attempt stalled.
That reconstruction is the exact problem Midjourney spent years getting good at. Turning ambiguous input into a coherent image is what they do. They aimed it at sound waves instead of text prompts.
This is why the scan takes 60 seconds while a full-body MRI takes 60 to 90 minutes. Close to 100x faster, no radiation, no magnets, resolution down to a fraction of a millimeter.
Then read the part most people skipped. The scans happen at a spa. Hot tubs, cold plunges, and a machine that quietly images your whole body while you relax. The scan is a side effect. You barely notice it.
Run it forward. The plan is 50,000 machines doing a billion scans every month. Midjourney has no investors and no quarterly hardware margin to chase. The payoff was never the scan fee.
A billion monthly full-body scans is the largest longitudinal map of human anatomy ever assembled. Every model trained on it gets sharper, and every sharper model makes the next scan worth more. This was always an image company. They just found a kind of image nobody else could generate.
🤯 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.

It was great joining Njideka Akunyili Crosby — a gifted Nigerian-born, Los Angeles-based artist — to unveil our first portrait together. This piece reflects so many chapters of Michelle and my story, and we’re thrilled that it will be on display in the Hope and Change lobby at the Obama Presidential Center starting this Juneteenth.
Lots of people asked for it, so here it is.

Barack and I were so honored to have @AkunyiliCrosby create our portrait for the Obama Presidential Center. Her artistic brilliance shines through — and the way she infused such life and joy into the piece is truly extraordinary. We love it, and we think everyone who visits the Center will too!
You’ve probably heard, I graduated from Future London Academy’s Executive Program for Design Leaders on friday. The design MBA challenged everything I thought I knew.
Before this, I thought a mainstream MBA was all I needed to fuel this insane amount of curiosity I daily brewed on what it meant to be a business-minded designer but after doing it, I realized it wasn’t. I could say beyond a doubt that this was all I needed to move to the next phase of my career.
From the first day I stepped into the programme in London, which also happened to be my first time out of Nigeria, I knew I had met a new family. A family of teachers, delegates and staff who opened up their arms to me and never got tired of my questions 😀.
The learnings, friends, family and experiences will stay with me forever. It felt like I had travelled to all 18 countries represented in my cohort, experiencing their world through their lenses. I wish I could go into all the stories, but not today 🫣.
Thank you Ekaterina Solomeina, DLX Mohammed Saiful Hussain, DLX for this incredible and thoughtful design of the programme and for connecting me with a new international family. The future is much clearer, with a new level of audacity unlocked in me along with a new level of responsibility for being an internationally recognized design leader.
I guess we could lose the ‘of London’ and embrace:
Bolutife to the World 🚀
Bolutife shooting for the stars 🌠
Bolutife changing the world 🌎
A very big thank you to all my friends, community, and family who supported me with all they’ve got. This is a win for us all.
Introducing, Bolutife Awakan, DLX

Besonderer Moment! Während die Teamkollegen sich beglückwünschten und dem Publikum dankten, bildete sich ein kleiner Kreis aus fünf Spielern. Im Kreis vertreten: Mehrere Spieler Curacaos und Felix Nmecha sowie Jonathan Tah. Arm in Arm steckten die Spieler die Köpfe zusammen.
Torschütze Nmecha erklärte nach dem Spiel die Szene am ARD-Mikro: "Wir sind im Spiel Gegner und nach dem Spiel alle Christen und Brüder. Dann haben wir einfach ein kleines Gebet zusammen gemacht, weil wir immer noch sehr dankbar sind", erklärte der 25-Jährige.

My favorite thing about a Knicks’ win is everyone congratulating SPIKE LEE all over my timeline 😂
Anyone over 30 truly understands how much HE DESERVES THIS! 💙🧡👏🏾
