Imagine AI that never asks and never sleeps—just thinks, decides, and acts in the background. In this episode, agent‑builder Ropirito walks hosts Jacob and Spencer through his evolution from insurance‑era rule‑bots to Nous Research’s vision of “passive‑mode” LLM agents, explains why most projects are mere tool‑wrappers masquerading as autonomy, and dishes on the hard problems—context drift, brittle web UIs, legal gray zones—that stand between today’s chatbots and tomorrow’s truly independent collaborators.
