I knew the second Eric posted about releasing Slug to the public domain we'd get 100s of "OpenSlug" slopped-up. Will be interesting to see which implementation will win or if Slug will keep being a thing.
Slughorn is coded by hard-working humans. Sure, we use LLM tools for some investigation and development, but this is not an AI slop project. It's been in the works steadily since not long after Eric announced the patent release, grinding through improvements with every hour of the day we can dedicate to it.
Every important line of code here was written, tested and is understood by Cubicool, the lead programmer (there are some LLM-generated ancillary parts of the codebase, and I think git shows those).
I must apologize, this really came across as an accusation. I meant to say that, upon his announcement, I imagined there would be many 1-weekend slop clones. I have not looked at slughorn, but I really think this is cool, and I appreciate competent people working on cool problems. I'll keep an eye on this! Will be more careful with how I express myself, sorry! :)
