Why does AI always wait for you to start the conversation? In this episode, Herman and Corn dive into the shift from reactive to proactive AI. They explore the "stateless architecture" that keeps models "asleep" until prompted, the massive compute costs of a "heartbeat" for machines, and the social friction of a phone that interrupts your dinner. From the technical promise of MemGPT to the privacy nightmares of a device that’s always listening, the duo debates whether we want a digital partner or if tools should simply stay in the toolbox.
