Not so long ago, the name Midjourney was synonymous with AI imagery. (Remember that brief period when everyone you knew was using an AI-generated selfie on social media?) Now the company is attempting to rebrand itself as a wellness brand. In a blog post published Wednesday, titled “A New Era for Midjourney,” the company described its plans for a new project, which it said is “a little weird and a little crazy, but also spectacular and filled with hope.” For starters, it’s working on a body scanner technology, which it says will be faster, cheaper, and less invasive than an MRI. The experience they have in mind sounds like a blend between Han Solo being lowered into the pit at Jabba’s Palace before getting blasted with carbonite and an ayahuasca trip report. Here’s how Midjourney describes it in their blog post: It starts by stepping into a shallow pool of golden light. You then begin to descend into the water. Your body passes through a ring of underwater sensors, each acting like a dolphin, using its echolocation. The sensors send ultrasonic sound waves through your body from every angle. With enough waves, and enough angles, we form an image of what’s happening inside your body. All of this should take no more than a minute, the blog post added. Midjourney envisions a ring of half a million sensors within the scanner, each about the size of a grain of sand, blasting ultrasonic waves at your body and using the reverberations to create a detailed 3-D map of what’s happening inside. “Envisions” is the key word, there: The announcement didn’t make clear what stage of R&D the scanner is currently in, but it did admit that the company still needs to figure out a “major computational task,” namely, how to transform all those noisy waves into static images. The process will reportedly harvest “terabytes of data each second,” based on the idea that the more information you collect about your body, the clearer and more complete a picture you can build of your individual health profile.
