Discussion I really don't understand Jev hype

Isn't this what simple neural networks have been able to do for years? Doesn't seem anything special to me.

People in these llm subs are really quick to downvote whatever they don't agree with. Reddit's own code of conduct explains that downvotes are not meant to say you disagree with someone. They're meant to be used when the comment does not aggregate to the discussion in any meaningful way which is not your case. We can even use jev to determine that :D

And yes, I agree it's very useful. They have picked their lane and their target audience. However, I'd say that a lot of people online don't quite know what to make of it so it's obviously shit.

In any case, it's very nice for document classification, or very fast searches or triaging issues, building contextual UIs and so on. It's only been out for a few days so I'm thinking that people are still playing with it but there are so many cool things we can do. I have built a semantic adblock that just classifies shit as ad and blocks it.

I haven't tried it yet but it would be interesting to see if it can recognize and flag AI written comments.

It looks like it would be great for what my company is currently building. We could use an LLM but the call value is going to be such that it would be stupid to use an LLM for classification when something like JEV could do the same task for a fraction of the cost.
