AI Radars

Hey crew, this week is about AI becoming strategic.

Governments are blocking deals, Midjourney is moving into health hardware, and creators get a better way to answer buyer doubts.

Let’s dive in.

INDUSTRY MOVES
Beijing Blocks Meta Manus Deal

Meta’s reported $2B Manus purchase is unraveling as Beijing steps in over security, data, talent, capital, and AI control.

  • Meta has cut Manus from internal systems, stopped data sharing, blocked employee use, and separated work

  • Manus went viral as an AI agent, moved staff to Singapore, and still faced Beijing review over roots, funding, and IP

  • Founders explored a $1B buyback while Manus kept shipping Shopify and Similarweb features as China tightened AI funding

AI startups are no longer just products. Governments now see them as strategic assets in the global AI race.

HEALTHTECH
Midjourney Builds Full Body Scanner

Midjourney Medical is a full body ultrasound scanner aiming to make advanced health scans a 60 second spa style test.

  • It uses water and ultrasound sensors to map muscle, fat, bone and organs without radiation or magnets

  • The prototype uses 40 Butterfly Ultrasound on Chip modules and heavy compute to rebuild bodies into 3D

  • A San Francisco spa is planned for late 2027 with 10 scanners, saunas and cold plunges, but starts with maps not diagnosis

FDA and privacy details remain open, but Midjourney is merging AI, hardware, wellness and preventive health into one product.
