alt Hacker NewsThe blog[0] is worded rather conservatively but on Twitter [2] the claim is pretty obvious and the hype effect is achieved [2]
CEO stated "We built a browser with GPT-5.2 in Cursor"
instead of
"by dividing agents into planners and workers we managed to get them busy for weeks creating thousands of commits to the main branch, resolving merge conflicts along the way. The repo is 1M+ lines of code but the code does not work (yet)"

So clearly someone, at some point, managed to run this, surely? That's where the screenshots come from? I just don't understand how, given the code is riddled with errors.
The link [0] implies that the browser worked. Can you help me understand what's "conservative" about that?
Even then, "resolving merge conflicts along the way" doesn't mean anything, as there are two trivial merge strategies that are always guaranteed to work ('ours' and 'theirs').
