The full story
Jonah tried to get Claude to recreate the 1996 Space Jam website, a famously preserved piece of early web design, pixel for pixel from screenshots, and wrote up honestly how it fell short. The post drew 552 points and lots of debate on Hacker News, and prompted someone else to succeed shortly after by giving Claude a proper screenshot-comparison harness.
