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.
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.
simonw has drunk the koolaid on this one. There’s no point trying to convince him. Relatedly, he made a prediction that AI would be able to write a web browser from scratch in 3 years. He really wants to see this happen, so maybe that’s why he’s defending these scammers.
It’s been fascinating, watching you go from someone who I could always turn into more sensible opinion about technology for the last 15 years, to a sellout whose every message drips with motivated reasoning.
It's largely futile. There's a certain contingent that will not be convinced of this until they see what these tools can do first hand, and they'll refuse to try to do this properly until it's everywhere.
