"To test this system, we pointed it at an ambitious goal: building a web browser from scratch."

I shared my LLM predictions last week, and one of them was that by 2029 "Someone will build a new browser using mainly AI-assisted coding and it won’t even be a surprise" https://simonwillison.net/2026/Jan/8/llm-predictions-for-202... and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lVDhQMiAbR8&t=3913s

This project from Cursor is the second attempt I've seen at this now! The other is this one: https://www.reddit.com/r/Anthropic/comments/1q4xfm0/over_chr...

Time to raise the bar. By 2029 someone will build a new browser using mainly AI-assisted coding and the surprise is that it was designed to be used by pelicans.

Lets make someone pass the one we have, this experiment didn't seem to yield a functioning browser, why would we raise the bar?

The web needs to be more p5n friendly.
