I'm eager to find out if this was actually successfully compiled at one point (otherwise how did they get the screenshots?), so I'm running `cargo check` for each of the last 100 commits to see if anything works. Will update here with the results once it's ready.

Edit: As mentioned, I ran `cargo check` on all the last 100 commits, and seems every single of them failed in some way: https://gist.github.com/embedding-shapes/f5d096dd10be44ff82b...

> Yeah, seems latest commit does let `cargo check` successfully run. I'm gonna write an update blog post once they've made their statement, because I'm guessing they're about to say something.

> Sometime fishy is happening in their `git log`, it doesn't seem like it was the agents who "autonomously" actually made things compile in the end. Notice the git username and email addresses switching around, even a commit made inside a EC2 instance managed to get in there: https://gist.github.com/embedding-shapes/d09225180ea3236f180...

Gonna need to look closer into it when I have time, but seems they manually patched it up in the end, so the original claim still doesn't stand :/
