Show Notes
In this episode of My Weird Prompts, Herman and Corn explore the evolution of human-computer interaction, starting with Grace Hopper’s vision in the 1950s and leading into the cutting-edge AI of late 2025. They break down the difference between simple chatbots and "Computer Use Agents" that can actually see and manipulate a computer interface. The discussion covers the Model Context Protocol (MCP), the battle between vision-based and programmatic control, and the shift toward Large Action Models (LAMs). Whether you want to automate audio editing or just stop clicking buttons, this episode reveals how close we are to a truly agentic future.
