The latest commit now builds and runs (at least on my Mac). It’s tragically broken and the code is…dunno…something. 3m lines of something.

I couldn’t make it render the apple page that was on the Cursor promo. Maybe they’ve used some other build.

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 some commits made inside a EC2 instance managed to get in there: https://gist.github.com/embedding-shapes/d09225180ea3236f180...

Noticed that as well - I think it was “manual”

I am not an expert AI user, but one typical 'failure mode' I see constantly is the AI reimplementing features that already exist in the codebase, or breaking existing ones.
