The people behind TheGrid are also the same people behind Grid Stylesheets, which uses an implementation of the cassowary constraint system to facilitate web layout: https://gridstylesheets.org/

Grid Stylesheets are actually a pretty compelling approach and it was well-received here when they first shared it with HN. While the claims about machine learning and AI are arguably eyeroll-worthy, there's definitely some non-trivial engineering powering their service. They aren't peddling vaporware and it's not a scam.

I don't think OP's knee-jerk reaction here is fair—and it certainly doesn't seem to be based on an evaluation of the actual technology in question.

Questions to ask: will they eventually deliver something that roughly satisfies their claims? (Yes?) will they eventually deliver something akin to what their backers expected? (No?)

I think the OP is saying he can't evaluate the actual technology in question because there is nothing to see. You are asked to take the word of thegrid folks that they have something and that they have 100 people testing it.
