Which part of their CEO saying "It kind of works" are you interpreting as "trying to get people to believe that it’s a working browser"?

The reason I won't let this one go is that I genuinely believe people are being unfair to the engineer who built this, because some people will jump on ANY opportunity to "debunk" stories about AI.

I won't stand for misleading rhetoric like "it's just a Servo wrapper" when that isn't true.

this level of outrage seems absent when it's misleading in the pro-"AI" direction

A project that didn't compile at all counts as "kind of" working now?

True, at least if it was a wrapper then it would actually kind of work, unlike this which is the most obvious case of hyping lies up for investors I've witnessed in the last... Well, week or so, considering how much bullshit spews out of the mouths of AI bros.
