Midjourney Builds a Spa Where AI Dunks You in Water and Calls It Medicine

Midjourney, the outfit famous for generating shrimp Jesus and infinite cat pictures, launched a medical division and a machine that lowers you into a shallow pool while half a million sensors fire sound at your organs, branding the gimmick “Ultrasonic CT” even though it uses neither X-rays nor a CT scan. The company announced a medical machine that can scan your whole body in just 60 seconds, the project is real, and it is building spas where you can get scanned. The important caveat is that this is a first-generation prototype with no regulatory clearance, and Midjourney says it will launch by offering body-composition maps rather than diagnosis. Holz pitched a warm pool of golden light and weekly scans for a billion people, which is the exact dolphin-spa energy of a company that found a fancier use for idle AI compute than making more cat pictures. Midjourney’s ambition is to have 50,000 Scanners available worldwide by 2031. Engadget on Midjourney’s body scanner
