Cursor's latest "browser experiment" implied success without evidence

4 months ago

Cursor published a blog post about scaling autonomous coding agents for large projects.
They tested their system by attempting to build a web browser from scratch, generating over 1 million lines of code.
The blog post implies success but lacks evidence, such as a working build or demo.
Independent attempts to compile the browser result in numerous errors, indicating it is non-functional.
Cursor's claims of 'meaningful progress' and 'hundreds of agents working together' are not substantiated with reproducible results.
The codebase appears to be low-quality 'AI slop' rather than engineered software.
The blog post creates an impression of success without meeting basic reproducibility standards.
