Mere Morpheus

Kyrin Down

Why do we need decentralised AI and how is it going to be built? Hi, I'm Kyrin and I will be exploring this question in this new show of the Mere Mortals Podcasts network. We'll be diving into agentic AI, open source philosophy, decentralised infrastructure, token incentives and why I believe the Morpheus AI project is best suited to help the world achieve a smarter future. Episodes recorded live on Mon 11am AEST and released shortly afterwards.

    Setup The Morpheus Skill | Agentic Compute Tutorial

    I got inference coming out at all ends! Welcome everyone, Kyrin here with Ep#20 of Mere Morpheus. Today we're going through a practical, start‑to‑finish setup of the Morpheus Skill to unlock Claude‑quality inference at a fraction of the cost. I cover the key prerequisites of having an agent framework running (I’m using OpenClaw), being able to talk to an LLM already and holding some MOR tokens to stake. From there I demo staking on the mor.org Builders Dashboard, jump into app.mor.org to create an API key before getting the last command from morpheusskill.com to get your new access to inference up and running. This is a Value 4 Value show so please provide back any value you got with some time, talent or treasure!  Extra links: mor.org app.mor.org morpheusskill.com Timeline:  (00:00:00) Intro (00:00:33) What is the Morpheus skill and why use it?

    AI Meetups & Real Life Convos | Where Are We In The Adoption Curve?

    What have I learnt from AI meetups & real life conversations Welcome everyone, Kyrin here with Ep#19 of Mere Morpheus. Today we're going over the types of people I have met interacting with AI and where this says we are in the adoption curve.  Along the way, I reflect on why we’re still in the 1–2% tinkerer phase, where hallucinations and data curation remain hard and why understanding agent architecture (without deep coding) still matters. Meetups are exploding, practical use-cases are piling up and the trade-offs between frontier closed models and fast‑catching open models continue.  This is a Value 4 Value show so please provide back any value you got with some time, talent or treasure!  Timeline: (00:00:00) Intro (00:02:07) Pre‑mingle at AI Builders Brisbane and the cybersecurity skeptic (00:04:32) Curious but not technical: the early majority hit a wall (00:06:33) Super‑users in the wild: young builders changing education (00:08:20) Limits of personal aptitude: from maths analogies to AI architecture (00:09:15) Everyday people buffeted by hype: jobs, fear, and indifference (00:11:01) The tinkerer’s lane: playing, not plumbing the depths (00:12:48) Juan the news‑tracker (00:14:13) Business impact: Suncorp’s AI mandates and agent teams (00:18:12) Support realities: human vs chatbot across generations (00:20:02) Meetups exploding: from rare events to weekly options (00:24:53) Why some architecture knowledge still matters (00:28:32) Near‑future UX: personalised apps, agents, and voice first (00:32:55) Closing plans: more inference, Morpheus skill, Venice compute  If you would like to support me for the value I provide you can use the referral link below when depositing capital and we will both earn bonus MOR.
