The only reason this lady faced the fallout she did is because she stole money from investors/rich people. There are so many people that should be utterly destroyed like she was, and the fact that they aren’t says so much about society.
The goal is for this process to take no more than 60 seconds.
You go into the water, you come out of the water, and you’re done.
When you step into the water, you’re standing on top of a platform. The platform is connected to rails and begins to descend into the water - an elevator gently lowering you at around 2 inches, or 5 centimeters, per second.
Assuming 30s down and 30s up, this platform will lower you a total of 60 inches, or 5 feet. So even in the magical fantasy land where this works at all you’re going to have a great tool to detect what’s happening in the body as long as it’s below the average person’s heart, an organ that is famously unnecessary and irrelevant.
Your body passes through a ring of underwater sensors, each acting like a dolphin, using its echolocation.
Better train them in echofellation so the thing has at least some use.
I’m calling it. This is the bubble about to pop.
They don’t know what the fuck to do and can’t rationalize pumping out more images with investor dollars, and this is their hailmary. They might scam a few people with their Holy AI Water Baptism tech but it’s the end of the line.
I’m guessing it’s because their existing line of business (image generation) has been commoditized by the hyperscalers’ image models, and there’s no longer any reason for anyone to pay for Midjourney.
This was my thought too. It’s so ridiculous I thought it was an Onion headline at first.
It seems like the first major AI company to go full laughing stock but it won’t be the last.
I get a whole body
CT scanMRI every 24 months. It’s, IMHO, a wonderful preventative medicine procedure. Bullshit like what Midjourney is doing will make people doubt the benefits of actual medical grade scans. Worse, some might forgo a real scan because they “already did the dolphin golden light scan which is the same thing”.EDIT: I mistakenly wrote CT scan when what I meant was MRI.
You… irradiate the shit out of your body every 24 months? Are you nuts? At that frequency you’re doubling or trippling your typical radiation dose.
Have you read at all about the risks of overdiagnosis and exploratory surgery on benign tumours?
I do not. I mistakenly wrote CT scan when what I meant to write is MRI.
That’s better but I think the overdiagnosis and overtreatment risks still apply. Also: shit, your insurance covers that?
…shit, your insurance covers that?
No.
overdiagnosis and overtreatment risks still apply
I’m keeping an eye for specific things but the first one I had diacovered a problem l knew nothing about. A more focused exam confirmed it, so the scans have already paid off.
These are low dose CT scans. Their utility, however, isnt yet supported by any evidence. For most cases you’ll want to be either symptomatic or at least a high risk population like a former smoker.
Fairynough. Although the OP actually gets MRIs.
Generally it seems, from what I’ve read, full body scans in otherwise healthy people are of marginal benefit and generally result in rich people placing unnecessary burden on the medical system checking out trivial things.
Damn… An MRI is crazy.
Sounds like a boutique service thats not available to the average person.
