I think the original post was just headline bait. There is such a fast news cycle around AI that many people would take "Thousands of AI agents collaborate to make a web browser" at face value.

At least I now have something to link to, when this inevitable gets mentioned in some off-hand HN comment, about how "now AI agents can build whole browsers from scratch".

A fast news cycle around projects that don't actually work. It's a real bummer that "fake news" became politically charged because it's a perfect description of this segment.

Literally happened at work. Breathless thread of people saying how insane it was and then we got to link this and it immediately 180-ed and everyone was like “holy shit that’s messed up”

yup, same. slack thread with a lot of comments with people praising it.

others were quite skeptical, specially the ones that actually perused the code.
