What's up with the robot?
French startup Genesis AI revealed Eno, a home assistant robot that looks like Apple itself unveiled it at a keynote. Pure Cupertino aesthetic β even their head designer looks like Jony Ive) And no, it's not AI slop β the company swears it'll start shipping to real customers by the end of this year.
The price is still under wraps, but you can join the waitlist here.
Bottom line: while Apple spends years teasing its projects, the French just went and built a robot in their style. Minimalist, pricey, and without a single button β just how we like it)

What's up with Midjourney?
The same Midjourney that turns text into images suddenly launched a medical arm β Midjourney Medical. And the first product isn't a picture, it's a whole-body ultrasound scanner, the Midjourney Scanner.
The trick: it scans your entire body in 60 seconds, no radiation, no magnets β just sound and water. They claim the imaging even beats MRI in places. The plan is wild: roll out around 50,000 of these scanners worldwide over 6 years and put people through a monthly full-body scan.
The first center opens in San Francisco in late 2027 β and it's not a hospital, it's a spa: hot tubs, saunas, cold plunge zones. They'll install 10 scanners that together do more scans per year than every MRI machine on the planet combined.
Bottom line: yesterday it was a neural net for art, tomorrow it scans you between the sauna and the cold plunge) The future showed up sideways β but it looks good)
