I feel that getting anywhere into the neighborhood of “kind of working” for a project like this is noteworthy and a huge milestone. Maybe a better headline would be, however: Agents almost create a working browser.

Yes, if Cursor claimed "We let autonomous agents run for weeks, and they produced millions of lines of code, and it kind of looks like a browser, and it kind of runs", then I wouldn't have written and published TFA.

But their claim wasn't so nuanced, it was "hundreds of agents can work on a single codebase autonomously for weeks and build an entire browser from scratch that works (kinda)". Considering the hand-holding that seems to have been required to get it to compile, this claim doesn't seem to hold up to scrutiny.
