Human conversations are often multithreaded. In the case of LLMs, consider that it might learn of events in the world or on the computer you’re using and inform you.
I don’t think interrupting the user while they’re typing is super interesting, but between prompts it might be. “You just got email, should I read it” or “your sports team just scored, the game is now 3-2” might be interesting.
Ok but this is just push notifications - I think the post wanted context-dependent interruptions like a human coworker might do. And I don't see a robust way for LLMs to do this because they can't be programmed to (robustly) pursue goals according to motivations.

If interruptions were implemented, they would likely use a split-screen interface like talk.
