Midjourney is an AI image generator and copyright violation machine. What’s the weirdest and dumbest business pivot an image generator company could possibly make? Yesterday, Midjourney CEO David H…

    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.

    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.

    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.

    I get a whole body CT scan MRI 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?

          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.

            …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.
