The MOR-DIEM Synergy | Hermes Overtakes OpenClaw

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 #73!Recorded: 14 May 2026 AI SUMMARY:  Ryan Condron launched mordiem.com, letting Venice DIEM holders stake unused inference to Morpheus (boosting compute and earning yield) plus options to stake MOR for user inference or to the MorDiem builder pool at 20% APY. This strengthens Morpheus as a permissionless inference aggregator. Hermes has overtaken OpenClaw as the top open‑source agent framework due to better memory, self‑improving skills and easier migration. Security discussion covers recent npm supply chain attacks and dependency audits. The US Clarity Act clearing committee may impact decentralized markets. The episode closes with best practices for agent permissions, connecting Hermes with the Morpheus skill and popular models like GLM 5.1/Gemma on the network.Timeline: (00:00:00) Intro(00:01:58) Introducing mordiem: putting unused DIEM to work(00:04:03) Why this matters: incentives across Morpheus, Venice, and users(00:06:17) Morpheus as an inference aggregator, DeFi analogies(00:10:17) Hermes agent overtakes OpenClaw in usage(00:18:54) Migrating from OpenClaw to Hermes: tooling and tips(00:21:11) Quirks and credit drain issues with OpenClaw(00:24:01) No single winner: evolving agent frameworks and skills(00:29:55) Halftime note: Brainpower podcast with Emad, AI research highlights(00:33:08) Supply chain attacks explained: TANStack, Mistral, UAI path(00:36:46) Practical security guidance and agent‑assisted checks(00:42:35) US Clarity Act progress and implications for crypto(00:44:51) Community segment: sharing inference and value capture(00:48:03) Community chat: events, daily agent use, and open models(00:51:06) Getting started with agents: Hermes + Morpheus skill(00:54:04) Operationalising agents: permissions, SOPs, and safeguards(00:57:59) Builders corner: Discord sharing and top models on Morpheus(00:59:41) Wrap up and next steps  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.
