AI For Humans: Weekly AI News, Tools & Trends

Midjourney Built a Body Scanner. AI Science Just Got Real.


Listen Later

AI NEWS: AI Image company Midjourney just unveiled Midjourney Scanner, a full-body medical scanner, and it might be one of the first real signs that the AI science era has arrived.

This week on AI For Humans, Midjourney does the most unexpected pivot of the year, trading anime babes for anatomy with a new AI driven full body scanner. Is the era of AI actually changing science finally here? We break down why this hardware is a big deal, Plus, Snapchat's SPECS are coming but they are expensive and… kind of ugly, Unreal Engine 5.8 ships with MCP support, and the AI talent wars heat up as Noam Shazeer leaves Google for OpenAI. Oh, and Claude Fable 5 might be back soon. Maybe.

AI IS COMING FOR YOUR ORGANS. IN A GOOD WAY. WE THINK.
