    The one thing I can't wrap my head around with Jev is why they're trying to create that "System One" narrative.

    In real life, a human doesn't do classification tasks with the System One part of their brain, they use System Two. So by definition what Jev does isn't System One thinking.

    If anything, regular programming that automatically executes based on logic, without requiring "thinking" would be "System One".

      I assumed they call it System One just because it's fast and there's no chain of thought/reasoning.

      Either way it's an analogy that's bound to be loose as Kahneman's modes are about humans.
