About this episode
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 #61!
Recorded: 5 February 2026
AI SUMMARY: This week's builders update features Achilles from Dappit who discusses the rise of agentic AI colliding with web3. Dappit is an "AI aggregator" for building decentralised apps end-to-end from requirements gathering through design coding with Opus 4.5 smart contract generation auditing and deployment. Achilles explains the real bottleneck is not model intelligence but communication context and orchestration arguing that smaller specialised open-source models with agentic workflows may outpace the bigger model race. The conversation covers the practical limits of today's models for web3 and Dappit's training of a web3-tuned open-source model. It zooms out to the cultural moment around agents security pitfalls of unsecured local installs and the case for personal fiduciary agents aligned via smart-contract rails. Topics include agentic payments on-chain reputation trustless coordination and the future of "software that builds software" debating alignment justice for autonomous systems and AI's impact on human jobs.
