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.

    The Mere Morpheus Podcast Is Evolving | Where I Think The AI Future Is Headed

    Zion, hear me! Kyrin here checking in with an impromptu episode on the future of the Morpheus AI project, Mere Morpheus and AI in general. The weekly maintainer updates are changing to a different format but I'll still be posting them here. So enjoy Episode #55! Recorded: 22 December 2025 AI SUMMARY: In Update #55, I (Kyrin) share where Morpheus AI is headed and why I’m still bullish long‑term, even if the current need for decentralised AI feels muted. I outline changes to the show format (moving from maintainer call recaps to builder updates) and why I’ll continue republishing Morpheus Spaces here for broader reach. I dive into why decentralisation matters as governments tighten controls and large providers lean into surveillance and ad‑driven incentives and how Morpheus’ incentives for builders, agents and inference can fill that gap. I also reflect on my personal builder journey using Venice, experimenting with Recall’s agent competitions, exploring ERC‑8004 rank‑ordering and the x402 payment protocol. On the practical front, I talk through recent wins automating tedious workflows (bulk transcript downloads, agent‑powered summarisation) and why the productivity upside from agents is only growing. Expect regular Morpheus AI updates sourced from Spaces, with cleaned audio, transcripts, chapters and AI summaries. If you’re keen to support, you can stake to the upcoming Base builder subnet, follow along on X and Discord and send through feedback or ideas for future builds.  Timeline:  (00:00:00) Intro (00:00:30) Format changes: from maintainer calls to builder updates (00:01:48) State of AI access today and why decentralisation still matters (00:05:31) Advertising incentives and the danger of intimate AI data (00:07:04) Longer term view: infrastructure now, demand later (00:07:32) Personal journey: Venice airdrop, Recall and agent competitions (00:08:43) Standards and payments: ERC-8004 and x402 for agent economics (00:11:20) Data, compute and the productivity wave ahead (00:13:46) Building on Base: launching a builder subnet (00:16:46) What to expect next: cleaned spaces, transcripts and summaries (00:17:40) Support options: staking, community and referral link 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.
