I think System 1 is a great term. System 1 is fast, intuitive, and automatic. It describes decision-making that happens without explicit reasoning or deliberation. System 2 is the opposite: it's the more deliberate, "executive functioning" side of cognition -- the part that reasons through a problem before arriving at an answer. That's also what state-of-the-art LLMs do before they respond. Jev doesn’t do that kind of reasoning. It just decides.
so whats the difference between this and a non-reasoning LLM, or just any generic classifier method that necessitates a new term? there is nothing more intuitive or automatic about jev or this than any of the other currently used AI models
The difference is the the joint embedding of actions and state which are fined tuned for certain outcomes. The bulk of the weights are just a forward pass on an LLM (Nemotron).
is that how jev works too? how do these differences make those approaches more "instinctive and emotional"? I know they're different on a technical level, I'm asking which characteristic difference necessitates the use of this loaded term from pop psych
Oh, an LLM forward pass is also like system1. The action embedding just makes it more useful for tasks or classification. If it has a small fixed computation budget it's similar to system1 than system2 (like a thinking budget, or agent harness).

> "System 1" is fast, instinctive and emotional
this implies more than just "fast", which is precisely why i don't like its present usage
