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