Pick the best line of a shared story
Jev Yarn is a party game where everyone writes the next sentence and Jev picks the winner: one taste request scores every line on four dimensions, and Nouls handle room filters and whether the story feels finished.
01 · Role in the system
What Jev does here
Every round, all requests go to api.typesafe.ai in parallel. One taste request carries four Choice questions - Funny, Flows, On theme, Surprising - over every candidate line, returning a probability per line per dimension that code mixes with the theme setter's slider weights into one share. Detail requests in chunks of twenty lines ask one Noul (would the story feel finished if this were added?) plus one Noul per room filter; a filtered line cannot win, its author sees why, and nobody else ever sees it. Past minimum length the closure probability blends into the share and decides whether the story ends. The finished story is rated by four Score questions on five described levels, combined by the room's weights into a score out of 100. Candidates are shuffled and lettered A, B, C, so Jev never sees player names. The author reports 100 players make a round six requests.
02 · Control boundary
Where Jev sits
One taste request (four Choices over all lines) plus chunked Nouls for filters and closure; deterministic code owns weighting, filtering, and the reveal.
Code owns the loop, permissions, thresholds, validation, and side effects. Jev owns only the bounded judgments described above.
03 · Known limits
What this evidence does not prove
- Moderation is a probability threshold (a filter fires past 0.5), not a human panel; one room is deliberately unfiltered.
- Player picks nudge the room's slider defaults but never change a round's outcome, and scores wipe when the last player leaves.
- The six-requests-per-100-players figure is author-reported from the author's own runs.
