#70 Tesla Roadster, Muse Wonder, Figma Extension, Salesforce SI, Software is Dead

I mean, it's not necessarily article worthy, but should we just talk about this Roadster event? If you have been living under a rock, then you might not have seen, but basically, Tesla built a flying freaking car. It can go naught to 60 in under a second, breaking the sound barrier. They call these thrusters 'diamonds' or something like that. This is going to be a production car that they're going to make in 2028. You can buy the normal performance car, which is the base model starting at a quarter of a million. Then you get the thruster one as an addition, which we just saw with the jets behind it. Finally, you get the full fly one, which is invite-only. The thrusters don't require any fuel; they suck air into them and just run off air, which is crazy.

There are so many questions about this technology. For the air, is it taking pure air or taking the nitrogen out of the air at high pressure? It's heavily inspired by Lamborghini, but also the SR-71 Lockheed Martin. The performance version is quite normal, but it features a multi-mode suction system that allows it to take corners up to 2G. It literally sucks down to the road, allowing you to take really sharp turns. The thrust version gives you an extremely fast jump start, and the rocket version is a single-seater full flight system. But logistically, this is not going to be street-legal. It's basically a mini rocket that shoots gravel like bullets and is incredibly loud.

Speaking of AI, we've also been editing all of our recent videos using AI. Using tools like Opus and Remotion, the AI lines up the clips and does the heavy lifting. It's not a complete 'set it and forget it' task, but it saves an incredible amount of time. You can export the edit as a Final Cut project and just make the final trims yourself. It captures the nuance and understands the most controversial or interesting points in the video to use for the intro.

In other news, Salesforce rebranded AI Force to SI Force, and the logo looks horrifying. It's very clear that the CEO got excited in front of some AI generator, probably Canva, and just posted it without running it by any highly paid designers. It looks like a JPEG thrown into an illustrator vectorization tool. It's an absolute embarrassment for a 188 billion-dollar organization and reflects poorly on their brand respect.

Levelsio also sent out a tweet claiming 'Software is dead.' He argues it's now the era of personal software where everyone just builds what they need when they need it. While this might be clickbaity, there is truth to it. For many people, paying for big SaaS like the Adobe suite or Mailchimp is over because they can just vibe code their own specific tools. We are likely heading towards a new distribution of micro-SaaS, where developers build bespoke solutions directly for clients who don't want to pay for one-size-fits-all platforms.

X, formerly Twitter, now has one centralized subscription combining Grok, Cursor, and X Premium. For $8, you get the checkmark, less ads, enhanced creator tools, Grok chat, API access, and Cursor all in one. It's a great deal that heavily incentivizes upgrading.

Meta launched Muse Wonder, a new family of frontier models that actually beats OpenAI. Muse Wonder is available through their API, while Muse Wonderful is their higher-tier model. They even released an open-weight version called Muse Spark Open, which requires two Apple M5 Ultra Mac Studios with 512GB of RAM to run locally.

Anthropic invented their own version control system to replace Git for their internal use. Because they use AI agents so much, they are pushing over 30,000 code changes per day. Git's offline, decentralized nature was actively undermining their ability to scale. So, they built Scion, a fully online source control system where an agent server manages file history, merges, and conflicts automatically.

Finally, Figma announced code layers. You can now capture code from any live website and paste it directly onto the Figma canvas. All the functionality and JavaScript remain intact. You can edit the live components manually or have an agent fix them. They also integrated Payload CMS directly into Figma sites, making it easier to manage back-end content without leaving the ecosystem.
