Jev looks really cool. a way to leverage techniques from generative AI that isn't actually *generating* anything, just classifying or answering questions, cheaply and efficiently. way way way fewer ethical concerns with something like this, and it's also like 300x more resource efficient than a LLM

TypeSafe AI is an AI lab building machine-native intelligence infrastructure for automation, designed to make decisions within software. Try our first System One Model, Jev, in early access.

for a lot of people, actually probably every person to some extent, there are just two points on the timeline, the decision to do something, and the result there's a lot of superficial going through the motions we're expected to do in our day to day and AI reflects that to a degree

I had this thought on one of my walks this week, that I think a lot of people who are plugged into how bad AI is aren't in touch with how a lot of human activities are surface level enough that AI is actually accurately recreating or replacing it

You have to admit there is a really funny irony to the fact that the one pc recompilation project taking its time and refusing to resort to AI to shit out a wide release faster is the Sonic 06 port

skylanders is such a fascinating franchise because its the kind of thing really really specific 20-40 year olds are gonna be obsessed with in like ten years. sort of like when i learned there was an Angry Birds fandom
