They've been banging on about The Mill seemingly forever, without
ever building any hardware. It's fairly nutty stuff with obvious
problems handling any branchy code, which is pretty much the definition
of what a "general-purpose" computer needs to be able to do well.
Back around 2017 they were talking big about having a simulator and
working on an fpga implementation. As far as I can tell absolutely
none of that ever happened, at least in public, and it has all gone
very quiet for 3 years or so.
If it looks like a turkey, and it gobbles like a turkey ...
