TypeSafe founder explains the Jev name and design philosophy
In an a16z video, TypeSafe's Diogo Almeida explains why Jev is called Jev: with cheap intelligence, AI should actually drive software, making cost and speed trade-offs.
TypeSafe AI's Diogo Almeida on why Jev is called Jev, and what cheap intelligence finally changes about software: "It's wild that AI is so cool and software has been unchanged in 10 years... The most we can do is add a little chatbot in the side sometimes that can take actions, but not all actions." "TypeSafe is making AI for software. We want to make AI powerful, not just for humans in the loop, but to actually build real software." "It's about the laziness to spend 10 hours to do the five-minute task instantly and to never have to do it again. It should be an ROI decision for people who automate stuff. I would just like it to be automatable." "I think that people will just make new kinds of work, hence the Jev in Jevons. New kinds of work once that stuff is doable." "As we have lots of intelligence at lots of different cost and speed trade-offs, the super systems-y types will be making trade-offs. Jev's gonna be 1000x too smart for them. They just want an approximate guess to optimistically route here and there." Martin Casado: "The good news is we get to rebuild systems again. We have a new primitive. It's kind of a new way of thinking about doing software." @CompleteSkeptic @typesafeai @bhorowitz @martin_casado
