The Craziest AI Pivot yet

The PrimeTime

Summary

The host analyzes Midjourney's surprising pivot into the medical field, where they propose a full-body ultrasonic scanning technology. While the concept of accessible, high-frequency health monitoring is ambitious and potentially life-saving, the host breaks down the technical and mathematical requirements, such as data processing, storage, and server hardware, to show that the current projections are likely impossible to achieve at the scale Midjourney claims.

Transcript excerpt

If you weren't on the internet for the last week, you may have missed it, but Midjourney has decided to enter into the medical arena. That's right. They're throwing their hat into medicine. And what they're effectively building is a tube in which you go into and it vibrates water and thus measuring the vibrations is able to take a decently accurate image of all the soft stuff inside of your body. By the way, this video very beautiful. Like I just even me trying to even me trying to record this YouTube video, I'm like watching I'm like, "Wow, it looks so futuristic." I seen this. This is like on Aliens. They also released a blog going into the details of how they plan on rolling this out, what is their strategy, and a super cool technical video actually breaking down how this works, the data they have to transfer, and everything. Now, you're probably thinking, "This is going to be me maki…
