ThursdAI: TypeSafe's non-LLM Jev hailed as a ChatGPT moment, Dario proposes three ways to pace frontier AI
altryne · x · 2026-09-18
Alex Volkov's ThursdAI podcast covers three big themes of the week:
- TypeSafe's Jev: a new decision-making model that is NOT an LLM (named after the Jevons paradox), claiming a rare speed/accuracy/cost trifecta — Volkov calls it another 'ChatGPT moment' and interviews TypeSafe's DevRel for 30 minutes.
- Pacing the frontier: Dario Amodei's essay argues it's time to pace super-capable AI development via three routes: independent evaluators inside labs, inter-lab collaboration (with an antitrust-law exception request), and global cooperation with 'authoritative governments' (i.e., China). Trump's response: it's all a hoax.
- Also: assistants discussion, and FranceDot demoing CUA-based assistants plus fastest computer use with JEV.
