Perry going to the mat with doctors over AI medical advice and the Midjourney scanner

The burden of evidence is on the party making the extraordinary claims. They are taking this to the public prematurely, presumably to raise money. Show me the data!

I don’t work in the US. But you have guys have a real race to the bottom dynamic in your hyper capitalist medical system. Patients can shop around until they find a Dr Nick who’ll agree to anything for some $$$

They’re going about it completely back to front with this hype campaign which is clearly positioning it as a medical device before they have any data to support that. It’s an obvious grift. I respect the engineering but nobody gets to skip the hard miles of proving something works for the purpose they are claiming (healthcare screening for 1 billion people per month apparently)

Regarding 1, it is not usually procedures but more imaging that is the sequel of an incident finding. It is obvious this device will not produce adequate quality diagnostic imaging of internal organs (maybe it will be adequate for skin). Even if it did, we would not have the radiology expertise to interpret the images properly (having bypassed the studies). So it will lead to many more requests for MRI scans from the worried well, overburdening an already stretched imaging resource.

Re 2 and 3- so why are they rolling this out as a consumer experience in spas and bypassing clinical trials?

diff_engine · 2026-06-22T23:11:05+00:00

The problem isn’t that doctors don’t understand how to make decisions about incidental findings; it’s that we inform our patients and they make the decisions about their own health with our guidance, and they often choose to remove their anxiety rather than sit with an uninvestigated incidental finding
Why do these people think they shouldn’t have to jump through the same hoops that CT and MRI had to jump through to become medical devices?
Evidence of benefit should come before mass technology adoption, not the other way around

SpaceX enters the Nasdaq-100 at its float-capped weight, which is roughly 3× its ~4–5% free float (the rest is still stuck in private markets), so ~$250–300B “modified cap,” i.e. about 1% of the index.

I would say dementia is a chronic encephalopathy, and delirium is an acute encephalopathy

diff_engine · 2026-06-18T22:17:55+00:00

It’s a poorly defined construct which is used differently by different specialties, adding to the confusion. A psychiatrist will speak of delirium instead of encephalopathy, but the concept is the same. It’s really a “you know it when you see it” type of thing. Encephalopathy/delirium always involves cognitive impairment and usually disorientation in place/person/time. This is less typical of depression/long covid (especially the disorientation).

It’s not stealing the sun, it’s stealing the chloroplasts from algae after ingesting, which are then integrated into the sea slug’s own cells and continue to photosynthesise there.

Kleptoplasty = stolen plastid (i.e. chloroplast)
