I'm scratching my head about why they would venture into an entirely different field like this, one with tremendous regulatory hurdles, if they know (and surely they must know) that radiologists are going to pan the results.

It's like if LeBron announced he was switching to bowling and was going to revolutionize the sport, then rolled a gutter ball.

Never underestimate the audacity of a software engineer with a new toy

Well, if you replace LeBron with Jordan, and Bowling with Baseball ..

The founder of midjourney is not a software engineer.

Not sure. Image reconstruction/generation is a computationally intensive process, and in recent years DL based methods for improve image reconstruction have advanced fields like musculoskeletal MRI imaging. The physics behind this idea are interesting, but will have to wait to see if they produce images with high anatomic detail.

I'm pretty sure, like most things, it's better to wait and see what's built rather than take issue with their short marketing video.

I mean, Michael Jordan did play for the White Sox for a hot second

It’s because no one has heard from mid journey in a few years so they’re pivoting
