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!<br /><br />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.<br /><br />This is a Value 4 Value show so please provide back any value you got with some time, talent or treasure!&nbsp;<br /><br />Extra links:<br />mor.org<br />app.mor.org<br />morpheusskill.com<br /><br />Timeline:&nbsp;<br />(00:00:00) Intro<br />(00:00:33) What is the Morpheus skill and why use it?<br />(00:02:23) Prerequisites: agents, LLM access and tokens<br />(00:04:37) Staking on mor.org and builder dashboards<br />(00:08:26) App.mor.org: API keys, models, pricing and usage stats<br />(00:13:27) Connecting the API to your agent via Morpheus Skill<br />(00:17:21) Live demo setup: OpenClaw, models and gateways<br />(00:20:41) Verifying billing changes during the demo<br />(00:22:49) Subnets on Base and Arbitrum; wrap‑up&nbsp; <p><br /><br />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.

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

AI Meetups & Real Life Convos | Where Are We In The Adoption Curve?
What have I learnt from AI meetups &amp; real life conversations<br /><br />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.&nbsp; 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.&nbsp;<br /><br />This is a Value 4 Value show so please provide back any value you got with some time, talent or treasure!&nbsp;<br /><br />Timeline:<br />(00:00:00) Intro<br />(00:02:07) Pre‑mingle at AI Builders Brisbane and the cybersecurity skeptic<br />(00:04:32) Curious but not technical: the early majority hit a wall<br />(00:06:33) Super‑users in the wild: young builders changing education<br />(00:08:20) Limits of personal aptitude: from maths analogies to AI architecture<br />(00:09:15) Everyday people buffeted by hype: jobs, fear, and indifference<br />(00:11:01) The tinkerer’s lane: playing, not plumbing the depths<br />(00:12:48) Juan the news‑tracker<br />(00:14:13) Business impact: Suncorp’s AI mandates and agent teams<br />(00:18:12) Support realities: human vs chatbot across generations<br />(00:20:02) Meetups exploding: from rare events to weekly options<br />(00:24:53) Why some architecture knowledge still matters<br />(00:28:32) Near‑future UX: personalised apps, agents, and voice first<br />(00:32:55) Closing plans: more inference, Morpheus skill, Venice compute&nbsp; <p><br /><br />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.

Anthropic Outages Vs Morpheus Marketplace | Everclaw No More
Zion, hear me! For Season 2 of the Mere Morpheus podcast I'm going to be uploading the Morpheus builder weekly updates. My reason for doing this is to make it more accessible for those who want an update directly via their podcast app and to have them all in one place. If you'd like to participate they are held weekly on the @MorpheusAIs Twitter spaces. So enjoy Episode #69!<br /><br />Recorded: 16 April 2026&nbsp;<br /><br />AI SUMMARY: This episode discusses the reliability crisis in centralized AI highlighting Anthropic's 129 outages in 90 days. It argues decentralized inference via Morpheus' marketplace provides essential uptime and permissionless access. The conversation notes open‑source models like GLM‑5.1 are now "good enough" for serious coding when used with agentic workflows and cross‑model audits. Practical updates include the rebrand of Everclaw to the Morpheus Skill for simpler decentralized inference and a comparison of memory systems. The episode concludes that Morpheus' open marketplace aligns price privacy and reliability sustainably.<br /><br />Timeline:&nbsp;<br />(00:00:00) Intro<br />(00:00:22) Claude outages and the case for zero‑downtime networks<br />(00:04:33) Why redundancy and permissionless access matter<br />(00:07:48) Opus 4.7 hot takes: marketing bump or real gains?<br />(00:11:18) GLM 5.1 impresses: open source coding results<br />(00:16:42) Is Anthropic prepping for IPO?

No One Click Easy Install | 5 Learnings From Setting Up An Agent
You want an easy one command install .... you're going to have a bad time.<br /><br />Welcome everyone, Kyrin here with Ep#18 of Mere Morpheus. Today we're going over my learnings from the past week of installing an agent. These range from choosing which level of installation you're skills are at, why you need to to get to chatting ASAP, doing some research of your chosen method (Mac, WSL, Linux or VPS), prepping your API keys beforehand and why exactly the 'easy install' is a myth.<br /><br />This is a Value 4 Value show so please provide back any value you got with some time, talent or treasure!<br /><br />Timeline:&nbsp;<br />(00:00:00) Intro<br />(00:01:04) Learning 1: easy, middling, and god mode<br />(00:05:04) Learning 2: Reach LLM interactivity fast<br />(00:07:07) Learning 3: Find and follow a precise install guide<br />(00:10:38) Learning 4: Prep essentials—API keys, devices, numbers<br />(00:12:22) Learning 5: The “easy install” promise meets real‑world errors<br />(00:14:35) Bleeding edge reality: fast‑moving tools, shared bugs<br />(00:17:30) Podcast plans: schedules, town halls and recaps <p><br /><br />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.
