In August 2022, David Holz unveiled a prototype medical imaging device developed by Midjourney, which he described as the "first new whole body medical imaging modality in 50 years." He stated that the company, which he said has no investors and is funded by users, aims to build a fleet of 50,000 scanners capable of performing a billion scans per month. At the time, the device team consisted of nine people. At a 2026 Regeneron ISEF event, Holz discussed his views on AI and innovation. He stated that he believes in "innovation before conservation" and solving problems through creating more plentiful things rather than conserving resources. He said the probability of the Earth ending due to AI is "pretty low," arguing that intelligent systems would prefer space over Earth for resources. He also said the most dangerous aspect of AI development would be if humans "believe less in the beauty and power of ourselves" while building powerful systems.

The space for computers is space, not like Earth. Space is great for computers. It's got energy. It's got lots of materials. You got more space and energy materials in space than on Earth. So I think like our atoms aren't really that valuable for like ”

I spent all my money until I was like negative $1,000 and then it's very motivating to make money when you're when you have no money left.
