AI-circle user @helloiamleonie (21K followers) joked about a moment of social embarrassment: on a Monday morning she casually asked someone in real life, "have you heard about Jev?" — referring to the Jevons paradox, the economics trope AI folks constantly cite for why AI efficiency gains drive up compute demand.
She says she still hasn't recovered from the cringe. The post resonates as a funny example of how terminally online AI workers start treating industry jargon as everyday conversation.
