Day 2 of growing on @X

Looking to connect with likeminded people!

I'm Joseph, and I have over 20 years of industry experience building software in cloud infra, security, and concurrency.

Using Fable 5.2, I made this in 1 prompt today:

[JSongRock @JSongRock]

Who is behind it

Thrun's Stanford team won the 2005 DARPA Grand Challenge with a self-driving car. He then led Google's self-driving project, which became Waymo. He co-founded Google X and founded Udacity.

His co-founder, Adrian Aoun, sold a startup to Google and later built Forward, a tech-first health clinic. Forward shut down in 2024. He is back anyway.

What Dulo builds

Foundation models for hardware design. Software engineers now have AI that writes code. Mechanical and electrical engineers mostly don't. The stated goal is "manufacturing at lightspeed."

The money

A $130M seed round, first reported by The Information on October 29. Investors include Eric Schmidt (former Google CEO), John Doerr (chairman of Kleiner Perkins), DST Global, Construct Capital and Lowercarbon Capital. Dealroom ranks it above the 99th percentile of all US robotics seed rounds.

My read

At this stage, investors are not buying a product. They are buying a person who has already turned a science project into an industry once. A track record is the strongest pitch deck.

The risks

Hardware is slow and expensive to test. No product, customers or timeline is public yet. And a huge seed round raises the bar for the next one.

What a builder can copy

Pick a field where AI has not arrived yet, and where you already have deep experience. Software got AI first. Factories, chips and machines are next.

[JSongRock @JSongRock]

No product. No customers. No valuation disclosed.

And still a $130M seed round.

The founder is Sebastian Thrun. Here is why Eric Schmidt and John Doerr said yes.

Make a 30-second motion graphics short that shows outstanding skill as a motion designer. Treat it as a personal portfolio piece for a résumé. Go all out.

[JSongRock @JSongRock]

I made this with one prompt using Fable 5.2. 🤯

This is the baseline for future motion graphics... it will have an explosive effect on the industry

@kimindiehacker @X 100% agree

YouTube kanalı açmayı hep isteyip bir türlü başlayamadıysanız, bu post derdinize derman olacak.

Bu hafta paylaştığım skill cinecode ücretsiz ve açık kaynak. Sadece Claude üyeliğinizle, sağda solda satılan kurslara para vermeden, aynı işi yapan araçları parayla satan platformlara gerek kalmadan kanalınızı açabileceksiniz.

Aşağıdaki Bermuda belgeseli için bir gece cinecode'a "kararları sen ver" deyip yattım. Sabah teslim raporuyla uyandım: sekiz dakikalık nerdeyse final bir video. Son haliyse, değişmesini istediğim yerleri detaylıca anlattığım tek bir revizeyle çıktı. Bunu yazarken harbici gururluyum, birkaç hafta önce bu cümleleri kuramazdım.

Ne yapıyor derseniz: fikrinizden senaryoyu yazıyor, sahneleri kodla üretiyor, gerektiğinde stok görsel tarayıp arşivden buluyor, motion design ile görsel kancalar kuruyor, açık kaynak ses efektlerini ve müziği de ekleyip son kurguya kadar götürüyor.

Valla bu skill gerçekten oldu, dümen değil. Kurcalayın, iyice aşina olun, benden iyilerini de yapacaksınızdır. Kamera almadan, yüzünüzü göstermeden, kurgucu tutmadan kanal zaten açılıyordu; ama artık başka hiçbir araca ihtiyaç duymadan, sadece Claude'la ya da kullandığınız yapay zekâ aracıyla yapabileceksiniz. Kafayı koyup emek verirseniz elinizde kanal açacak kalitede iş üretebileceğiniz bir araç var.

Ben de izninizle kendi kanallarımı açıyorum artık; hepinizi kendime rakip etmesem içime sinmezdi. Sıra trend bir konu ve doğru nişte. Tutan formatı bulup seri üretime geçeceğim. Belki de Bermuda gibi paranormal olaylar anlatan bir kanaldan devam ederim.

cinecode'u geliştirmekten de bir süre uzaklaşacağım, şu haliyle fazlasıyla yeterli. Aklıma gelen fikirleri not ediyorum, özleyince döneceğim.

Repo ve kurulum ilk yorumda. Bu akşam konunuzu seçin, YouTube'da görüşürüz.

If you design with AI, this is all you need

1. https://t.co/Lp2oSiR6tL — cheaper than lovable
2. https://t.co/N0kni8z7CJ — premium website prompts: 800+ 3d websites, motion sections. Paste into Claude, ship.
3. https://t.co/PN63CrMEfd — landing page inspiration done right.
4. https://t.co/o5r6DKFHY9— cool gallery for web design inspo
5. https://t.co/29Ou8HWy3W — top notch landings
6. https://t.co/k4ZIrLF8h4 — fonts behind brands
7. https://t.co/AUhGBZTOAK — award websites
8. https://t.co/NWKmL8054V — mobile UI animations

save these for your next project

our grandkids might see a car on the road and shout, “Look! Someone’s actually driving that car!”

In the same way, they’ll need to understand why people used to write code themselves.

[JSongRock @JSongRock]

Walmart opened an MCP server so AI agents can shop. Amazon blocks them.

I told my daughter I wanted a blue checkmark on X to look more professional.
She said, “Dad, that just makes you look like a bot or someone selling something.”
Two generations. Completely different meanings.
Who's right? help me...

[JSongRock @JSongRock]

AI is getting better at writing like humans.
Maybe what matters now isn't better writing, but more soul.
Can AI have soul too?

[JSongRock @JSongRock]

Do you agree or not?
1. People may expect higher-quality content now.
2. If someone says your content feels AI-generated, maybe it’s just not good enough.
